The story of the humble Franciscan monk who literally rose to sainthood. In the impoverished community of 17th century Cupertino a peasant boy finds himself in hot water most of the time. His mother, thinking she can improve him, takes him to her brother, a priest who reluctantly accepts the boy into the monastry. Miraculous things begin to happen to him, especially as he is saying his first Mass.
