The Reluctant Saint
The incredible true story of St. Joseph of Cupertino. "The Flying Friar"
105 mins
Cupertino, Italy, 1623: A simple-minded and clumsy young man joins a Franciscan order as a hired hand, overcoming his intellectual and social challenges with a pure heart and a simple faith. God performs a miracle through him, quite literally raising him to sainthood.
