We are happy to announce that we will be holding a community screening of The Letter, a film by Laudato Si' Movement featuring Pope Francis among five leaders representing the voices of indigenous people, the youth, the poor and the wildlife of our planet.  

The screening will take place on Wednesday, March 8th at 7pm. This is a virtual screening event; parish groups are encouraged to gather to watch the virtual screening as a group, or you can watch from the comfort of your own home! You can also include other activities in addition to the screening, such as a Q&A session among the leaders of your community or a group reflection among your peers.  (Are you gathering with a parish group on March 8th for the virtual screening? If you do, take pictures and send them to voboril@diocesekcsj.org!)

Get ready for this big day! Watch the trailer of The Letter and share the invitation to this community virtual screening with your friends and family.

Thank you to ECO STE for helping support and sponsor this event!
