God's Doorkeeper: St Andre of Montreal DVD

On January 6, 1937, the death of a humble doorkeeper for a boys' college drew over a million people to Montreal for his funeral. For 40 years, Brother Andre Bessette of the Congregation of Holy Cross welcomed people at the door and became known as a miraculous healer. God's Doorkeeper looks at the heart and legacy of Brother Andre -as a man of prayer, of hospitality, and of compassion; a man who draws people in to experience a God who is love. On October 17, 2010, Brother Andre became the first male Canadian-born saint and the first saint for the Congregation of Holy Cross. He is living proof that "it is with the smallest brushes that the divine artist paints the most beautiful pictures." The film features interviews from Montreal, Rome, and the United States-with people who knew him and others who continue Brother Andre's work today. It also includes footage of the Beatification and Canonisation ceremonies in Rome and the celebrations in Canada, with footage of the unforgettable events of Brother Andre's road to sainthood.
