About this Event
As part of our celebration of the 800th Anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s Transitus, and this Franciscan Jubilee Year, Sacred Heart and the Franciscan Center are partnering for a special bi-monthly film series featuring movies and documentaries related to his life and the Franciscan Order.
On Sunday, November 15, at 2 p.m. at the Franciscan Center, parishioners are invited to a viewing of The Assisi Underground, an adaptation of Alexander Ramati's 1978 book about the real-life Assisi Network during World War II. Bishop Nicolini and a Franciscan friar, Padre Rufino Niccacci, run a secret network to hide and protect hundreds of Jewish refugees from Nazi occupation in Assisi, Italy.
Each film will include an introduction and a short conversation afterwards. A popcorn bar and drinks will be available, with donations accepted. Admission is free, but reservations are requested. Additional films, showtimes, and locations will be available soon, so be sure to check future parish bulletins for details!
