"At the End of the Santa Fe Trail" portrays the life of Sister Blandina (Maria Rosa) Segale, S.C., and her faithful service in God's name. The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati missioned her out West at the age of 22 to serve communities and teach the faith. She encountered many obstacles, and stayed true to her beliefs, even challenging Billy the Kid to spare someone's life! She is currently on the path of canonization by the Catholic Church, and has attained the title, "Servant of God" by the Vatican.
"Stories abound of how she calmed mobs of armed men from taking the law into their own hands, helped criminals seek forgiveness from their victims, and even saved a man from a hanging party by facilitating reconciliation between him and the man he shot before he died," says her biography on the Sisters of Charity website. "Sister’s adventures have been featured in novels, television programs, histories and a comic book. In 1966 her story of bravery was told in a CBS series Death Valley Days episode, 'The Fastest Nun in the West,' where she faced down the barrels of guns to find justice."
Seton Lobby Doors will open at 5:30 pm to a display of artifacts, photo opportunities, and other information about Sister Blandina. The program will start at 7:00pm with a welcome message and prayer, testimony from a local woman who was blessed with a miracle through the intercession of Sister Blandina. Tomas Sanchez, Director of the film will be present for an introduction, and a Free Will Offering benefitting the Santa Maria Community Services and Student Assistance Fund at The Mount will be accepted.
