JustFaith Movie Night: ‘Building a Bridge’
Tuesday, June 28, 2022
6:45 to 9:00 p.m.
Join Holy Family's Just Faith Ministry in viewing the newly released documentary ‘Building a Bridge’ produced by Martin Scorsese.
Named after the book by Father James Martin, Building a Bridge follows a priest on his journey to make the Catholic Church more accepting of the LGTBQ+ community, despite loud opposition from both inside and outside the church.
The event is free and open to the public. We will gather in the Main Conference Room and the documentary will begin promptly at 7:00 pm and will be followed by a short discussion.
Free-will offering
Formed in January 2015, the JustFaith Social Justice Action Group of Holy Family started with 15 individuals on a 27-week journey of study and discussion based on the JustFaith Ministries nationwide program, which is designed to gain an understanding of the root causes of many of our broken social systems in the US and abroad. Topics included poverty, racism, immigration and refugees, homelessness and more.
Since completing the program, the group has opened its arms to the broader faith community at Holy Family and volunteers in areas of poverty, racism, immigration, women’s mental health and prison reform. In addition to a variety of volunteer opportunities, the JustFaith group also hosts a variety of events throughout the year to raise public awareness about these issues.
We continue to welcome members of the Holy Family Faith Community to become involved in our JustFaith efforts in any manner they feel called. Please contact us at justfaith@holyfamilyretreat.org for more information.
