The Reluctant Saint
The Story of St. Joseph of Cupertino
Made from the original archive film master
Maximilian Schell stars as "the flying friar", St. Joseph of Cupertino, in this heartwarming and amazing true story of the humble Franciscan friar who literally rose to sainthood. In the impoverished village of 17th century Cupertino, Italy, Joseph’s peasant mother convinces the reluctant Abbott (Ricardo Montalban) to accept her son into the monastery. With the support of the kindly local Bishop who sees in him a great deal more than others, and by a series of miraculous incidents, the simple but pious Joseph is ordained a priest. Yet some are convinced that it is the devil, not God, who is responsible for Joseph's miraculous powers – until a final miracle reveals to all his true sanctity.
A profound and humorous film for all ages. Also

Paul VI
The Pope in the Tempest
Available March, 2010 Pope Paul VI was a leader in the Catholic
Church as a priest, bishop, cardinal and pope
through one of the most difficult periods in its
history—from the Fascist regime and World War
II to the constitution of the Italian Republic, from
the Second Vatican Council to the protests and the
terrorist attacks of the 1960s and 1970s.
His papacy ran from 1963 to 1978, during
which he wrote the prophetic, controversial document
Humane Vitae that strongly proclaimed the
Church’s teaching on the sacredness of married
love and human life, and the evil of contraception
which the Pontiff said would open the door
to abortion if allowed. He was the first travelling
Pope who began to visit the dioceses of the 5 continents
like no pope had ever done

St. Giuseppe Moscati
Doctor to the Poor
Available March, 2010
Giuseppe Moscati, “the holy physician of
Naples,” was a medical doctor and layman
in the early 20th century who came from an aristocratic
family and devoted his medical career to
serving the poor. He was also a medical school
professor and a pioneer in the field of biochemistry
whose research led to the discovery of insulin
as a cure for diabetes.
Moscati regarded his medical practice as a lay
apostolate, a ministry to his suffering fellowmen.
Before examining a patient or engaging in
research he would place himself in the presence
of God. He encouraged his patients to receive the
sacraments. Dr. Moscati treated poor patients free
of charge, and would often send someone home
with an envelope containing a prescription and
a 50-lire note.

Joseph of Nazareth
The Story of the Man Closest to Christ
The first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph - carpenter, husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a "just man", and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man - to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah, and the father and protector of this Holy Family, the man closest to Christ.
Starring Tobias Moretti in a manly, appealing performance, we are shown the human, noble and the deeply spiritual aspects of Joseph the carpenter, son of David, servant of God and loving husband of Mary. He is presented as a man of faith who has to grapple greatly with the profound mysteries of the divine conception, virgin birth and the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the incredible challenges of protecting
