Box office flash: ‘Father Tony,’ the film

About 600 people attended the Sept. 16 premiere at the Joy Theatre of “Father Tony,” a documentary film by Cynthia Capen. The 65-minute film profiles Father Tony Ricard, the former pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, highlighting his youth ministry and the rebuilding of the parish after Hurricane Katrina. A trailer and more information on how to see the film is available at www.fathertonyfilm.com. “Although the film is about my life and ministry, it really is a reflection of the strength in our community and our common resolve to be victorious in the face of adversity,” Father Ricard said.
