"A feature film centering about the life of St. Francis, from his birth in a manger to his death surrounded by his followers who initiated the great Franciscan Order of Monks. His idle, rich youth, his conversion to Godliness and life of poverty, his refusal to face Christ on the Cross, and his known miracles are all recounted faithfully. 'Dialogue is in Spanish with English titles.' Scholastic"
