“When award-winning independent filmmaker Hector Galán was asked by archdiocesan Director of Communication Pat Rodgers and San Antonio-based theologian Father Virgil Elizondo if he might be interested in doing a documentary on the life of Archbishop Emeritus Patrick F. Flores, he didn’t have to think twice. “I jumped on it, of course!” he said.

It would be a year before funding for the documentary was in place and another two years to complete the one-hour film, which draws in part on rare, archival film footage to recreate the nearly 80-year life span of the first Mexican-American bishop and archbishop in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States.”
