See film on life of Mother Teresa at Rosary High School

On Sept. 10-11, "Mother Teresa of Calcutta," a film about the life story of the missionary who will be canonized Sep. 4, will be shown as part of the popular "Ignatius Night at the Movies" program at Rosary High School in Aurora.

Tickets are $5 each or $15 per family.

The film illuminates the life story of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a modern-day saint who brought hope, love and salvation to the poorest of the poor. It examines Mother Teresa's life from her childhood in Albania to her first calling as a nun, the decision to leave her order and live among the poor, the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, and her great work of service in Calcutta and the rest of the world.

"Renowned actress Olivia Hussey renders an authentic and compelling portrayal of Mother Teresa, the determined and compassionate saint of the gutters. Thoroughly moving and profoundly inspiring, Mother Teresa will stir your heart," wrote Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, EWTN TV host and author of several books about Mother Teresa.

The film will be shown on Saturday, Sept. 10, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 1:30 and 5 p.m., in the auditorium theater at Rosary High School, 901 N. Edgelawn Drive in Aurora.

The film has a running time of 177 minutes. Refreshments will be available before and after the show, and at intermission.
