“The question of whether all babies go to heaven is one of deep personal and pastoral significance and the cause of much anguish to a great many people.

“In truth, The Holdovers features a sense of healing that is mutual amongst all three left at the school. The path that takes them there provides gentle lessons of compassion for all involved in community making. And, for Christian people, that’s all of us,” says Jonathan Sargeant from FormEdFaith at St Francis College
