Hildegard, who lived in what is now Germany, was a woman well ahead of her time. She was a gentle revolutionary who excelled as an abbess, physician, theologian and composer, and whose prophetic visions filled volumes.

We Welcome Dr. Lillian Bozak-Deleo, Professor at Molloy College, who will provide a brief introduction to St. Hildegard prior to the showing of the film, and lead a discussion of the film afterward.
