JustFaith Movie Viewing: ‘Till’
Sunday, May 7, 2023
2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
The JustFaith Social Justice Ministry of Holy Family and Deacon Art Miller Ministries LLC invites you to join them for a viewing of the film, ‘Till’.
Based on the true story of Emmett Till, a young African American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955, ‘Till’ is a poignant and timely reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality in America.
The event is free and open to the public. We will gather in the Main Conference Room and the film will begin promptly at 2:00 pm, refreshments will be available and the viewing will be followed by a short discussion led by Deacon Art Miller, author, radio host, civil rights activist, revivalist, former director of the Office for Black Catholic Ministries for the Archdiocese of Hartford and childhood friend of Emmett Till.
For additional information, please contact Andrea Melanson at 860-614-8280 or ammelanson@aol.com.
Free-will offerings to benefit Deacon Art Miller Ministries LLC are appreciated.
Formed in January 2015, the JustFaith Social Justice Ministry 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.
