Movie Night - Brother Sun, Sister Moon

For the first day of the Season of Creation, Wednesday, Sep. 1, we will show “Brother Sun, Sister Moon” (1972), a movie directed by Franco Zeffirelli with songs by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan.

This is a dramatization of events in the life of St. Francis of Assisi from before his conversion experience through his audience with the Pope, including his friendship with St. Clare. Join us on zoom HERE at 7 PM for viewing and discussion of this film which “attempts to draw parallels between the work and philosophy of St. Francis and the ideology that underpinned the worldwide counterculture movement of the 1960s and early 1970s.”
