'Beauty of Their Dreams'

Knights of Columbus and their families are invited to sign up for an exclusive screening of the Emmy Award-winning documentary "Beauty of Their Dreams," which tells the stories of individuals and faith groups advocating for girls’ education around the world.

It also highlights the Marengoni Primary School in Uganda, which serves children who are orphaned because of AIDS, and was constructed in 2012 by the Apostles of Jesus with assistance from the Knights of Columbus.

The film is available to Knights and their families for free streaming from April 25 to May 2. If in-person events are allowed in your area, consider hosting a family movie night at your parish. If not, please share the information and links with your council and parishioners.
