We have a special opportunity to bring Triumph of the Heart to Middletown, Delaware — a powerful film that will inspire hearts and strengthen faith. But it will only happen if enough tickets are reserved in advance. This beautiful crowdfunded film tells the true story of St. Maximilian Kolbe and his companions in Auschwitz. It begins with Kolbe’s extraordinary act of love, offering his life for another, and follows the hope and courage that blossomed even in the darkness of the starvation bunker. Because this is a crowdfunded release, your early ticket purchase is more than a reservation. It is a gift that makes this screening possible. Without enough early support, the film will not come to our theater. Let us come together as a community to fill the seats and share this story of sacrificial love with our neighbors. Buy your tickets today and be part of bringing this witness of faith to our community.

There is no choir practice on the Tuesday but the choir WILL SING for the Feast of the Assumption Mass on Friday at 5:30 pm.
