Segment 3 – “The Violinist: Stories of Solanus Casey” documentary
“From the Augustine Institute, in partnership with Digital Continent, comes a film showcasing the simple, persistent holiness of Bl. Solanus Casey. The Violinist: Stories of Solanus Casey will debut July 27-28 in his hometown of Detroit. Casey was a simple priest who lived with the Capuchins at the Franciscan Province of St. Joseph until 1957. Although he didn’t do anything particularly extraordinary during his life, thousands turned out after his death to testify to the extraordinary love he had for God and his fellow man. The Violinist uses beautiful filming and provoking storytelling to weave together stories from three people who knew him when he was alive. The Solanus Casey Center and the Capuchins at the Franciscan Province of St. Joseph will host free showings of this remarkable film on July 27 and 28 in Detroit.”
