YOUR RATING

Hollie Barrett, Marcus J. Smith, Jim Pretty, and Keith Bonnell in Gift from Above (2021)

Based on the true story from Marion Counsel, "Gift From Above" tells of the troubles her mother had trying to make a dress for her communion in 1958. When all hope is lost, and with no one else to ask, a silk parachute falls from the sky, almost as it was a gift from above. Thanks to some creative ingenuity and sewing, she was able to turn this random silk parachute into a beautiful silk dress, and in turn, a memorable story from her days on Red Island.

Quotes
Father Muldowney: We welcome these young boys and girls into the light of God. These children have the qualities to forever push God's love forward. This is an important day for all of us, and as I stand here, I am reminded of just how proud each and every parent must be of their children.
