Casa Veterans MinistryExperience a journey of healing and hope
"Come Here, Brother Wolf" was produced by two-time Emmy®–winning journalist Dustin Luecke and former award-winning journalist and current author and educator Martha Boehm in association with ProAmo Creative. They filmed the documentary in Italy in May 2025, joining a multi-generational group of about 30 individuals with experience in various military branches and civilians who took a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey through Rome, Poggio Bustone, Assisi, La Verna, and Gubbio.
“There’s something about spirituality of place–a battlefield, a cemetery, a shrine; poppies, sunflowers, and all of nature–which reenergizes, recreates, and recaptures one’s soul,” said Fr. Conrad Targonski, chaplain at Viterbo University and a pilgrimage leader who is featured in the film. “Francis and Clare of Assisi provide the background for this pilgrimage, and veterans are amazed of its wonder.”
Through conversations with spiritual guides and mental health experts, the film’s creators explore how Francis of Assisi coped with what was likely post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how veterans are connecting that with their own experience.
The runtime of the film is about 60 minutes. Doors will open at 6 pm, and the film will start at 7 pm. A discussion with the filmmakers will follow the screening.
FEE: $10 per person. Pre-registration required.
