Movie Night: The Story of St. Anthony Mary Claret

On 25 January at 7 pm we will show the movie on the story of St. Anthony Mary Claret.
Set in Spain in the 1800s, this dramatic feature film tells the compelling story of St. Anthony Mary Claret, an Archbishop, writer, publisher, social reformer, missionary, and confessor to the Queen of Spain. Claret, one of Spain’s most popular preachers, founded the religious congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, known as the Claretians.

Regarded as the “spiritual father of Cuba” due to his zealous missionary work there, Claret’s apostolic work also took him to the Canary Islands, Madrid, Paris, and the First Vatican Council. Before the priesthood, he was a professional weaver in the textile mills of Barcelona. After being ordained, he spent 10 years giving popular missions and retreats, always placing great emphasis on the Eucharist and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Rosary was never out of his hand.
