have a night (or two) at the movies.

On Friday night the feature-length
documentary "Champions of Faith"
will be shown. In the film, baseball
stars Mike Piazza, David Eckstein
and others reveal how their faith
guides and sustains their
spectacular careers.
Film clips screened include: "Fr. G
and the Homeboys," the story of
Jesuit Fr. Greg Boyle's work with
Los Angeles gang members; "The
Invisible Chapel," a story of faith
and perseverance pitted against fear
and the heated immigration debate;
and "Dorothy Day: Don't Call Me a
Saint." Other films are provided by
Maryknoll Productions, Paulist
Productions, Family Theater, Hope
Media Productions, the San Damiano
Foundation, Mud Puddle Films, and
