General Announcements 

St. Teresa of Calcutta film to be shown in some theaters for one night only on Oct. 5

A new film titled Mother Teresa and Me will be shown in some theaters through Fathom Events at 7 p.m. on Oct. 5 to honor the anniversary of St. Teresa of Calcutta’s passing. The film will be shown only on that night at that time.

The film is about a young woman named Kativa who, upon discovering herself unexpectedly pregnant, considers having an abortion. A native of India, she returns home where she learns about Mother Teresa’s struggles in her dark night of the soul and finds inspiration in the saint’s life and work.

The production was entirely financed by donations, and proceeds of the film will be given to the poor through the Zariya Foundation, an organization founded in honor of St. Teresa of Calcutta to ease the suffering of the poor, abandoned, sick and dying and to improve health and education for youths around the world.

In the archdiocese, Mother Teresa and Me will be shown in three theaters in Indianapolis, one in Brownsburg and one in Plainfield. It will also be shown in venues near the archdiocese in Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky. For locations and to purchase tickets, go to fathomevents.com/events/Mother-Teresa-and-Me.
