‘Vianney’ At St Rose Sunday

Vianney, the new live production performed by Leonardo Defilippis, the director and star of the feature film Thérèse, will be presented Sunday, April 18, at 2 pm, in the Gathering Hall of St Rose of Lima Church, 40 Church Hill Road.

Freewill offerings will be accepted at the door. No tickets or reservations are needed.

Against the dramatic backdrop of the French Revolution, Vianney offers the story of John Vianney, a simple ignorant peasant priest who enters the backwater town of Ars, a place where no one cares much about their faith, or sees the church as particularly relevant. They do not expect much out of John Vianney. But then the impossible begins to happen through this unlikely shepherd and through his example, his love, and his sacrifice, the townspeople begin to change, to listen, and begin to pray.

The performance is suitable for ages 12 and up.
