Part 2 of 'Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints' returns on Fox Nation for Easter season
Part 2 of the hit series will premiere with an episode focusing on the story of Saint Francis of Assisi, a beloved Catholic saint who is remembered for his humility, service to the poor and love of animals.
Viewers will learn about the remarkable story of how Francis went from being a wealthy man to leaving behind his possessions to serve God after a life-changing experience witnessing the horrors of war.
"Francis puts aside his old life of frivolity and searches for new meaning," a preview of the episode says. "He finds it in a command from Jesus himself – to 'rebuild my church.' Francis spends the rest of his life following that command, in the process starting a brotherhood, preaching on how to live like Christ, and even ending face-to-face with the Saracen leader Sultan Al-Kamil at the height of the Fifth Crusade."

"The Saints" culminates during Holy Week, telling the story of Mary Magdalene who suffered "great spiritual affliction" until she met Jesus, who healed her.
"After Jesus cures her of seven demons, Mary becomes one of his closest followers," a preview of the episode explains. "She travels with Jesus and supports him, witnessing the growth of his ministry, his miracles, and eventually his crucifixion. But her most important role is as the witness to Jesus's resurrection – where she is tasked with spreading the word to the world of Jesus's resurrection, overcoming doubters to become an important herald of early Christianity."

Melania Trump wears polka dots, white shirt dress during Fourth of July week
Melania Trump is opting for simple looks during her husband's second term. The first lady wore a white Thom Browne shirt dress to attend Fourth of July celebrations at the White House on Friday, July 4, also joining President Donald Trump for his "One Big, Beautiful Bill" signing. The dress featured a collar, left unbuttoned, and was coordinated with a pair of the first lady's fashion favorites: Manolo Blahnik pumps. Browne's eponymous luxury brand is another must-have for the mom of Barron Trump: in 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term, the British fashion designer said publicly that he respected her "as the First Lady and (dressing her) is something that I would respect." wears bold floral pants, bright pink heels On Thursday, July 3, Trump visited patients at the Children's National Hospital in Washington, wearing a seasonally trendy Gabriela Hearst polka dot blouse paired with a color-coordinated ivory pencil skirt and ballet flats from Roger Vivier. Last month, Trump's fashion choices took a turn when she sported Dolce and Gabbana peony-print cotton jacquard pants and pink suede Manolo Blahnik pumps while greeting guests during a White House event. With summer nearly underway, Trump wore the outfit as dozens flocked to the White House South Lawn for the 2025 Congressional Picnic. Trump's fashion choices, which are thought to reveal subtle hints about her mood and inner-most thoughts, are the subject of intense public interest in the same vein as Jacqueline "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis and Michelle Obama.

The former fashion model — and first practicing Catholic to serve as first lady since Jackie Kennedy — also made headlines when she attended the April funeral service of Pope Francis in a double-breasted coat dress paired with a traditional veil, gloves and black stilettos.

‘Easier than just talking to someone': Hamilton artist on connecting through performance
Hamilton artist Shealagh Rose has played gigs from Festival of Friends to an intimate show at café bistro Synonym. But what onlookers may not know is that Rose is naturally shy. For her, performing means connection. 'Somehow, it's easier than sometimes just talking to someone,' the folk-pop singer said. Rose will hit the stage at Into the Abyss, 267 King St. E., in Hamilton, on Friday, July 4 . Performing scraps the small talk and makes way for deeper connection, said Rose, who plays the guitar, piano and ukulele. It is a byproduct of a vocation Rose felt when she was younger. 'I always just knew that I liked performing, whether it be in plays or musically,' she said. When she is not singing on stage or recording her next project, Rose is teaching others how to sing, or play the piano or ukulele. She got her love of music from growing up in a musical home. Her dad is a guitar player and retired Catholic school board music teacher. 'There was always guitars and instruments around to play,' said Rose, who taught herself to play guitar at 12. After testing out violin lessons from eight years old to high school, Rose pivoted to singing and songwriting. She then went to Humber College for voice performance. The program taught her about production and during COVID-19, her training came in handy. 'With lockdown and everything, I ended up figuring a lot of the self-recording out by myself,' said Rose, who used Logic Pro, an Apple music production program. 'Safe in our Silence,' the EP she released in February, is the result. On Friday, Rose will open for Toronto-based Emma Worley and Claire Hunter. The show runs from 8 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $17.31, including fees. Go to . Here are other live music events coming in the next week.
