Saints “Pilot”

Script

Comedy. Saints, a half hour comedy about the Monday through Friday of what happens at a church. The first season follows Billie Jean Walsh, the business manager of St. Maria Goretti, a small church in a mainly catholic town called Virgin, New York, who following the consolidation of multiple churches in town due to financial problems in the diocese, must fight to keep her position and not let her newly appointed co-business manager steal her job. Meanwhile she has just entered the dating pool and realizes that she is on her way to sleeping with half the congregation.

Saints highlights the backstage of the catholic church, the irony of people who work and go to church but don’t practice what they preach, as well as Billie’s inner struggle concerning her faith in a higher being. Each episode is named after a story/person in the bible that ties into what is going on in the episode.
