RP Dominicans produce internat’l film on St. Dominic

THE THOMASIAN community now has a “reel-life” evidence of how the Order of Preachers became the stronghold of Catholic faith.

The Dominican Province of the Philippines gave tribute to the Dominican order, which is set to mark its 800th anniversary in 2016, by producing the first full-length feature film on St. Dominic de Guzman.

The film, Dominic: Light of the Church (Lumen Ecclesiae), premiered last December 11 at the Medicine Auditorium and zeroes in on the life of St. Dominic de Guzman and the beginnings of the religious order he founded.

Starting from the childhood of St. Dominic, the film tells the story of a boy who grows up and studies in the monastery of Palencia, Spain at such a young age.
