I must admit “Finding Charity in Art: The Challenge of the Vincentian Festival” surprised me into prayer! ”

It’s here! The first day of the Vincentian Film Festival in Rome. You can view highlights as well as a gallery of photos. An introductory 6-minute video presents who we are as a Vincentian Family and what we do.
“We wish to dare to enter the world of cinema, the world of communication, to evangelize and globalize charity”. Fr. Tomaz Mavric, CM
The Vincentian Family is sponsoring a film festival that seeks to identify and encourage creative ways of presenting the real face and faces of poverty in media. Help us identify creative people to enter this contest.
