Upcoming Events
Movies for Pride: Building a Bridge
Sunday, Jun. 27 | 7:00 p.m. via Zoom
We will be hosting a discussion of the new Martin Scorsese produced documentary, "Building a Bridge," detailing the life and ministry of Fr. James Martin, SJ, the author of Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity. The film is premiering at this year's Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Many may remember Fr. Martin visited St. Monica in 2019 to discuss his book and ministry.
Participants can view the documentary on their own by streaming the movie through the Tribeca website starting Jun. 16.
Note: streaming ends Jun. 23, be sure to catch it before then. The cost to stream the film is $20 and scholarships are available, reach out to for more information.
