Salt + Light | Documentary Special | God’s
Doorkeeper:
St.
André
of
Montreal
On January 6, 1937, the death of a humble doorkeeper
drew over a million people to Montreal. For 40 years,
Brother André Bessette welcomed people at the door and
became known as a miraculous healer. Produced by
Salt + Light, God’s Doorkeeper looks at the heart and
legacy of Brother André — as a man of prayer, of
hospitality, and of compassion; a man who draws people
to a God who is love. On October 17, Br. André became
the first male Canadian-born saint and the first saint for
the Congregation of Holy Cross. He is living proof that “it is
with the smallest of brushes that the artist paints the most
beautiful
pictures.”

André of Montreal visit saltandlighttv.org/brotherandre
