Saint Philip Neri: I Prefer Heaven
Directed by Giacomo Campiotti
A biographical drama celebrating a saint's compassionate mission to serve Rome's poor and abandoned youth through faith, humor, and spiritual devotion.
One of the most popular saints of all time, St. Philip Neri was widely known for his great charity, deep prayer life, and tremendous humor. Hoping to join St. Ignatius of Loyola's new order of Jesuits and be a missionary to India, Philip was instead guided by Providence to seek out the poor and abandoned youth of Rome to catechize them in the faith and help them find a better life. He became the founder of the religious congregation, the Oratory, that worked with the youth and also labored to re-evangelize a decadent Rome.
