Solanus Casey Documentary Film Debut



What, you don't know Solanus Casey!!? He was a Capuchin priest who served most of his life in Detroit and is a slam dunk to be canonized a saint soon.

A new documentary film on the life of Father Solanus Casey, Detroit's leading candidate to be declared a Catholic saint by the Vatican, will debut in a special big-screen showing at the Capuchin center he once called home.

See the film at a big-screen showing at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Dec. 16 at the Solanus Casey Center at 1780 Mt. Elliott on Detroit's east side. That's the visitors center established to celebrate the ministries of Father Solanus, who was born Nov. 25, 1870, in Wisconsin and died in Detroit on July 31, 1957.
