Brother Isaiah Marie Hofmann, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, released his first album entitled “Broomstick” in May of 2016. Brother Isaiah explained in an interview how the simplicity of St. Francis inspired his music, and how his life-long dream of recording an album came about through Divine Providence. The CFR musician and vocalist also said that most of the album’s proceeds go to single mothers in need. He believes their experience is a “really amazing, heroic struggle,” and that “God is very familiar with that struggle because He came into the world through an unplanned pregnancy.” Click to listen to the full interview!

I recently had the opportunity to visit with Joe Campo, the co-founder of Grassroots Films. The company is known for its documentaries, including "The Human Experience," and "Fishers of Men."

Grassroots brings you the new documentary "Outcasts." It follows the work of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and what they encounter on the streets near their friaries.
