Welcome to the Official Archbishop Lefebvre Film Documentary USA Site!
Why a movie on Archbishop Lefebvre?It would seem that the story of Archbishop Lefebvre has already been completely written. There is the magnificently and definitive biography by Bishop Tissier de Mallerais. There is the famous Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre written by Michael Davies. Dr. David Allen White has contributed with The Horn of the Unicorn. We even have the Archbishop’s autobiography The Little Story of My Long Life.
However, the life of Marcel Lefebvre has never been told on film until now. We live in an age stimulated by visual and audio reinforcement. The Church has always instructed by catechesis; κατηχισμός “instruction by word of mouth.” This is an visual representation of the life of the founder of the Society of St. Pius X. The man who sometimes was called “the rebel bishop.” The life of a great Churchman who was an apostolic delegate of Pope Pius XII, Archbishop of Dakar, Superior General of The Holy Ghost Fathers and an active participant at Vatican II.
Why this film?
This project has received the support and encouragement of Bishop Bernard Fellay. He has opened all the archives to us! We will collect the stories of bishops, priests, the communities he served and the friends who were lucky enough to have known Archbishop Lefebvre. Additionally, we will also interview the surviving members of the family of the Bishop and all the laity who were willing to contribute to his life work.
We do not hide the fact that all this work has a cost, even if many professionals have offered their services pro bono. We invite you to participate by providing pictures, home videos, stories or any documents that you might have; or by simply making a donation.
We need everyone’s help to make this a complete and quality film. We are asking you to give whatever you can afford to assist in bringing Marcel Lefebvre’s life and work to the attention of the world.
