My mother was born on Aug 11th her name was Philomena. She loved the Holy Catholic Mass and Rosary. I am blessed to have seen this. I am a Roman Catholic today in my senior years. I never knew who St. Philomena was until now. God Bless you all

[@stgenesiusfilms]

Just days ago, I providentially saw in the mailbox a letter containing a blessed holy card of Saint Philomena. The gift came with such precision timing at a very meaningful time. It was mailed to our country from the US with a postmark that was very close to the upload date of this prayerfully made inspiring work. And today I'm so happy to discover this fruit of your labor! Eternal heartfelt thanks ❤️ Your video even taught or reminded me about some wonderful details in the life of St Philomena! And brought other Providential signal graces!, including the fact that it is a family production. postscript: I read the comment and channel reply re a forthcoming blooper video, haha!

[@stgenesiusfilms]

What wonderful timing with the holy card and finding our film!! We were blessed to have been able to put together this little film as a family, and I'm so glad you happened to come across it! I hope you enjoy the bloopers when they come out; I always love watching the goofs. :D

[@stgenesiusfilms]

What a beautiful name and wonderful saint!!

[@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt]

Who were the 3 people Filomena spoke too about her story? I loved the servant of Diocletian conversion.

[@stgenesiusfilms]

Though we know that St. Philomena's story was revealed to three different people, I have not been able to find out much about all three. The one you hear the most about is Mother Mary Louisa of Jesus, and our script is based on the account she was told. I am glad you liked the conversion story of the guard in the story! The blood of the martyrs is always very fruitful for the Church.

[@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt]

@stgenesiusfilms Ohh thanks for her name. Il look her up. Is there a book? I know The Cure De Ars 1800s had a very deep relationship with our Saint philomena, healed by her I heard today also.

[@stgenesiusfilms]

@@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt Here are two book recommendations: Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker, by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, and Saint Philomena, Powerful with God, by Sister Marie Helene Mohr. Both of those have St. Philomena's account to Mother Mary Louisa, and my sister told me that the second book also has a bit about the priest and the artist, the other two people St. Philomena's story was revealed to.

[@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt]

@stgenesiusfilms Thankyou. Exciting. I have read only about Saint John Vianny, years ago, with his very close relationship with Saint Philomena. I have some beautiful brocade pearl chaplet to her.

[@stgenesiusfilms]

@@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt You are very welcome! St. John Vianney's devotion to St. Philomena is so touching!! The chaplet sounds lovely! Amazing how the world only "met" St. Philomena so recently, considering how long ago she was martyred.

[@alexisdespland4939]

how did the story get out all the mirales happen after her parents go back to corfu.

[@stgenesiusfilms]

Thank you for your comment and question! Do you mean how did people learn about the miracles? There are two answers: 1. There were actually crowds witnessing at least some of the miracles (unfortunately we didn't have a large enough cast to show the crowds, so the guard who converts represents the people who witnessed these miracles). 2. In the 19th century, St. Philomena revealed her story to three people after her tomb was discovered.
