General Announcements
Film on St. Faustina and Divine Mercy image to show in theaters on Oct. 28
The two-hour film Faustina: Love and Mercy will appear in movie theaters nationwide for one day only on Oct. 28.
The docudrama presents previously unknown facts and recently disclosed documents that shed new light on the Divine Mercy image shown by Christ in a vision to St. Faustina Kowalska.
Aided by scientific analysis, the film reveals conclusions drawn from a comparison of the Divine Mercy image and the Shroud of Turin.
Re-created scenes between St. Faustina and her confessor, Father Michael Sopoćko, trace the origins of the image, the birth of the devotion to Divine Mercy and its spread throughout the world despite an initial ban by the Catholic Church.
For more information and a complete list of theatres and showtimes, visit www.fathomevents.com/events/faustina-love-and-mercy.
Archbishop Thompson to celebrate bilingual St. Martin de Porres Mass on Nov. 3
Archbishop Charles C. Thompson will be the principal celebrant at the 16th annual bilingual St. Martin de Porres Mass at St. Monica Church, 6131 N. Michigan Road, in Indianapolis, at 6 p.m. on Nov. 3.
Sponsored by the archdiocesan Black and Hispanic Catholic ministries, the Mass celebrates the feast day of St. Martin de Porres, a Peruvian saint born of an African mother and a Spaniard father. He grew up in poverty and struggled with the stigma of being of mixed race in a time of great prejudice.
Bring a dish to share at the fiesta following the Mass.
For more information, contact Pearlette Springer at 317-236-1474 or e-mail pspringer@archindy.org.
Deaf awareness seminar to be held at Marian University on Oct. 29
Ephphatha, a seminar to raise deaf-awareness and make environments more deaf-friendly, will be held in the Michael A. Evans. Center for Health Sciences auditorium at Marian University, 3200 Cold Spring Road, in Indianapolis, from 6:30-8 p.m. on Oct. 29.
The purpose of the event is to increase understanding of the deaf community and culture at Marian University and in general, and to inspire greater connections with the deaf community. The name comes from the Hebrew word meaning “be opened” used by Christ in restoring the hearing of a deaf man (Mk 7:34).
Gabriel Paulone, a teacher at the Indiana School for the Deaf (ISD), will serve as the key presenter. He will explain the deaf culture and history of the school, address the importance, beauty and complexity of American Sign Language and offer thoughts on making environments more inclusive and connected.
Other presenters include Char Ottinger, a nurse-interpreter and instructor for IU Health, part-time nurse for ISD and former Dean of Girls at the school; Terry Huser, owner of the deaf-friendly business Huser Home Health and father of three deaf children; and Erin Jeffries, archdiocesan coordinator of Ministry to Persons with Special Needs.
The evening will end with an opportunity for audience questions, followed by refreshments in the lobby adjoining the auditorium.
The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
For more information, contact Lucy Wahnsiedler at lwahnsiedler880@marian.edu, or Drew Sullivan dsullivan348@marian.edu.
