Saint Francis Xavier DVD

About the project...

This DVD/VHS commemorates, with images from present and past, our magnificent Gothic Revival church and its vibrant local community.

See what the neighborhood looked like when the church was founded. Find out why there is a symbol of a fish in the church's wrought iron and one of a pelican in the stained glass. Learn why there are 27 angels above the altar.

St. Francis Xavier's history lives in its parishioners and its landmark building. This documentary is another way to capture who we are and who we have been.

Featuring...

  • Archival images, drawings and maps
  • Panoramic views of the Brooklyn skyline as we know it today
  • The history of St. Francis Xavier's development within Park Slope
  • A 30-minute tour, focusing on art and iconography by Dr. Francis Greene
  • Music by Dr. Michael Kaminsky with the church choir
  • Pictures of parishioners at church events then and now

Running time: 43 minutes
