The phenomenal success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is opening doors for all kinds of religious projects. For me, personally, as the director of a feature film Thérèse, based on the life of the most popular saint of modern times, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, scheduled for release in October of this year, the timing couldn't be better. The blockbuster status of Gibson's film has jarred secular Hollywood into sitting up and taking notice of this little movie made by our independent production company, Luke Films.
The patron saints of soldiers are:
* Acacius

* Martin of Tours

* Michael the Archangel
* Sebastian
* Theodore Stratelates
African missions, AIDS sufferers, air crews, aircraft pilots, Australia, aviators, Belgian air crews, black missions, bodily ills, diocese of Fairbanks Alaska, diocese of Fresno California, diocese of Juneau Alaska, diocese of Pueblo Colorado, florists, flower growers, foreign missions, France, illness, loss of parents, missionaries, parish missions, restoration of religious freedom in Russia, Russia, sick people, sickness, Spanish air crews, tuberculosis
Gibson needs to come out with a recommendation for this move!
