Mother Teresa: No Greater Love premieres in Ontario, Nov. 2

MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE, 

The newest documentary film from the Knights of Columbus will be premiered in Ontario theatres this Nov. 2 and 3 (Waterloo, Kingston, London, Orleans, Kitchener, St. Catharines, Kanata, Whitby and Caledon).

The film premiered in the U.S. earlier this month and was a smashing box-office success. In fact, it earned more than $1.2 million in ticket sales and Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly announced (read it here) that the Knights would allocate all of the revenue it receives from ticket sales to charitable purposes and efforts that advance the legacy of Mother Teresa.

The documentary was released to commemorate the 25^th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s passing. Not only is the film – and its main protagonists – inspiring, but it also features Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, a native of Winnipeg, Sr. Bernice (based in Toronto) who explains how he and Mother dodged bullets repeatedly to build bridges with criminals and it was co-directed by a Canadian from Oshawa.

The documentary is sure to inspire – especially the youth who may not know that much about Mother and the religious communities her work inspired.

The trailer – and more information – is available here: https://www.motherteresamovie.com/.

Knowledgeable persons who were intimately involved with the production of the film:

Father Brian Kolodiejchuk (featured in the film), a member of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers, has spent the past 17 years gathering evidence and data to make the case for Mother Teresa to be declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

David Naglieri (director) - David is an Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker and television producer. He is renowned for his 2016 feature-length documentary: Liberating a Continent; John Paul II and the Fall of Communism, which earned five Emmy nominations. He previously worked at Salt + Light Media, before joining the Knights in New Haven, Connecticut.

Marc Boudignon (co-director) – Marc is an accomplished director who has worked with the Knights of Columbus on numerous projects and, previously, at Salt + Light Media. He is based out of Oshawa, Ont.

We are hopeful both Catholics and well beyond – will show up in large numbers and demonstrate to cinema landlords and others in the community that we, Catholics in Canada, are a (loving) force in the community...and that we’re happy to play a part in the promotion of charity (and life) for the benefit of all!
