The STUDIO
WHO WE ARE
A Catholic entertainment studio based in Ottawa, Canada working with team members all around the world. 3NITY Studios™ is committed to producing inspiring content imbued with Christian values. We are focused on providing quality entertainment to families who long for uplifting, wholesome and trustworthy content to help them grow their faith and their love for our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We are unapologetically Catholic, which means we create content centered around the Divine, prioritizing the inclusion of God in our narratives. Our commitment is deliberate; we refuse to compromise by crafting stories that, although positive and uplifting, shy away from acknowledging God as the principal author of all good, out of a fear of appearing “preachy”. We firmly assert that narratives promoting self-improvement without explicitly recognizing the significance of God in our journey are inherently misleading, regardless of their charm.
“May Jesus be the ‘cornerstone’ of your lives and of the new civilization that you must build in generous and shared solidarity. There can be no authentic human growth in peace and justice, in truth and freedom, if Christ does not make himself present with His saving power” ~St. John Paul II, The Great
We seek to provide entertainment founded on three transcendental Christian qualities: the true, the good and the beautiful. The goal is to offer powerful, faith-filled, inspiring media and to show the power behind the Biblical stories in a way that is unique. We adhere to a process of prayerful discernment in all our conceptual and production stages, and we are guided by a group of advisors in different fields, such as theology, history, philosophy, psychology and creative processes. We work in collaboration with other apostolic churches, specially with members of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
One of our motivators—added to the primordial intention to honour our Lord Jesus Christ—is to open the vault of riches of our Christian faith to people who are searching for Truth and meaning; those curious about Jesus Christ and His Church; those that want to get deeper in their faith; parents looking for trustworthy entertainment for their family; homeschoolers looking for engaging resources for their children; grandparents who long to share their Christian faith with their grandchildren; and even those that may just be curious about our work.
Frida Abaroa
Founder & CEO
What moved me to start this studio was a long conviction regarding the impact that film and animation have on people. We can see the negative way in which the secular world continues to dive into darker themes, and it has gone unchallenged for too long. Therefore, I took a bold step in faith, answering what feels like a calling from God, to produce quality entertainment that redirects people to Him.
I boast on one thing alone: God qualifies the called. It is Him who has provided me with the vision for our projects as He connected the dots between my previous academic studies, work, and life experiences. It is Him also who has aided me to gather the team that is working on our projects.
I want to provide parents, who are as concerned as I am, with trustworthy media that will not only entertain but build up their children's knowledge and understanding of God. This is out of a sincere desire to share the beauty I encountered in a relationship with Jesus, which changed my life completely. I would like others, especially the younger generations, to experience this love that comes out of closeness to Him.

PATRON SAINTS
& Holy Servants of the Church
Provide a general description of the items below and introduce the services you offer. Click on the text box to edit the content.
St. John Paul II
As Pope John Paul II was a tireless champion of evangelization through modern media, urging creators to “open wide the doors to Christ” and to fill the airwaves, arts, and communications with the truth and beauty of the Gospel. His visionary embrace of film, animation, and digital culture as instruments for catechesis aligns perfectly with our studio, dedicated to faith-centered storytelling. As a philosopher, pastor, and global communicator who inspired generations—especially youth—he embodies the mission of using creativity, excellence, and technology to proclaim Christ to the world.
Venerable Fulton Sheen
Fulton Sheen was a true pioneer of evangelization through media, mastering radio and television at a time when the Church was only beginning to explore their potential. With remarkable clarity, wit, and storytelling brilliance, he communicated deep theological truths in ways that captivated millions, proving that faith-filled content could be both intellectually rich and widely engaging. His passion for leading souls to Christ, combined with his conviction that modern media should be consecrated to God’s service, mirrors the very heart of our studio, committed to proclaiming the Gospel through compelling visual storytelling.
Pope Leo XIII
Pope Leo XIII championed the Church’s engagement with the modern world at a time of rapid cultural and technological change. Through his intellectual depth and prophetic vision—especially in works like Rerum Novarum—he showed how timeless Gospel truth could be expressed in ways that addressed contemporary society. His strong promotion of Thomistic philosophy, devotion to the Holy Spirit, and authorship of the St. Michael Prayer reflect both spiritual depth and cultural awareness—qualities that align with our studio seeking to unite faith, reason, and creative media to shape hearts and minds for Christ.
St. Philippe Neri
St Phillipe Neri evangelized through creativity, beauty, and holy joy—using music, storytelling, humor, and the arts to draw souls to God. Known as the “Apostle of Rome,” he understood that hearts are often won not first by argument, but by delight, warmth, and authentic human connection. His Oratory fostered sacred music, dramatic expression, and engaging catechesis, reflecting a spirit very much aligned with our studio, dedicated to communicating the faith in ways that are vibrant, accessible, and deeply human—awakening both laughter and conversion as he protected the most needy & vulnerable children in Rome.
St. Francesca Cabrini
St Francesca Cabrini, a beautiful patron for our Studio because she embodied missionary boldness combined with tender maternal care—crossing oceans to evangelize, educate, and uplift immigrant families, especially the young. As the first U.S. citizen to be canonized, she used every available means—schools, orphanages, hospitals, and media of her time—to communicate God’s love in practical and transformative ways. Her global vision, entrepreneurial courage, and deep trust in the Sacred Heart mirrors our mission that seeks to reach nations and serve both the spiritual and human needs of new generations through creative evangelization.
St Anthony of Padua
Our dear friend, St. Anthony of Padua was one of the Church’s greatest preachers and communicators of the Gospel—a gifted teacher whose profound knowledge of Scripture was matched by his extraordinary ability to make the faith accessible to ordinary people. He was also an avid defender of the orphans and women of Padua. His gift for evangelization, his love for Scripture and tireless zeal for the defence of the most vulnerable reflect the heart of our studio, which seeks to use the modern media to make the timeless truth of the Gospel accessible, compelling, and transformative for audiences around the world, while we also seek to help the needy.
St Paul of Tarsus
Our most beloved St Paul of Tarsus was the Church’s first great media missionary—harnessing the most advanced communication networks of his time, from Roman roads to written epistles, to spread the Gospel across cultures and continents. A master storyteller, theologian, and cultural translator, he knew how to present Christ in ways that resonated with diverse audiences without compromising truth. His zeal, creative strategy, and willingness to suffer for the sake of evangelization reflect the heart of our studio, which is committed to proclaiming Jesus boldly and innovatively, bringing the Good News of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
We are sensitive to the concerning trajectory that media and entertainment have taken, where sinister themes are increasingly prevalent. While it's easy to acknowledge these issues, talk, as they say, is cheap. Remaining inactive is at the cost of children’s innocence. We've therefore chosen to take decisive action. For many, the enormity of this challenge may seem insurmountable, but we believe in the God who chose fishermen to change the world and now is calling artists to use visual hooks to still fish men! My husband and I have offered God our two coper coins to fund the project, and together with our team, we are giving our fishes and loves—our God given talents—and begun to work by putting our money and the sweat of our brow where our mouth is.
We recognize that more souls are being lost today in the battlefield of entertainment than in any other battlefield. This stark reality has ignited a fervent desire within us to engage in a counter-revolution to reclaim souls for God. Additionally, we've been deeply troubled by the declining presence of youth in churches and the inadequate catechesis that fails to equip them as resilient Christians, unafraid to uphold righteousness at any cost. This need within the Apostolic Christian family made us eager to reimagine catechesis by using engaging entertainment.
We believe in the inseparable unity of Truth and Love. As Cardinal Burke has written, “We cannot truly love another person while also disregarding or betraying the Truth which should inform every relationship. The fundamental approach to the crisis of the family, of society, and of the Church is the knowledge of Truth and the practice of it with Love.”
If you share our concerns about the state of entertainment, we invite you to join forces with us. Together, we possess the power to effect change and redirect the course of entertainment. Let us unite in our mission to re-center the arts in Christ, who enriches and elevates the soul. May our Lord Jesus Christ infuse His Holy Spirit in the work we do so that through it He may inspire all who "come and see".
