A new film based on an event at last year’s St Gerard’s Novena in Dundalk will be broadcast on RTÉ One this Monday night at 10.35pm.
Novena, which is directed by produced by Anna and Hugh Rodgers, captured the moment at last year’s Novena when Fr Michael Cusack of St Joseph’s Redemptorist Church in Dundalk invited two members of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community into the church to address the congregation.
Novena documents the speeches made that day by Kay Ferriter and Stephen Vaughan and the aspirations of Fr Cusack for a more inclusive church.
The film was partially funded by a Fund It campaign and has already picked up several awards including Best Short Documentary at the Kerry Film Festival.
