Producer: Mel Gibson

This inspiring film will be screened in the Church starting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday evening March 29th 2010. There will be no charge to attend this event. Due the very graphic nature of this film, children under 11 should be discouraged from attending. This could be an excellent way to start Holy Week.
