You are cordially invited to the screening of the film, "A Mighty Man: The Father Gerry Roche Story" at Filmbase on Thursday, August 30th.

Father Gerry Roche spent over 40 years building clinics, schools, churches and community centers in Kenya’s politically contentious Rift Valley.

The thousands of people helped by his unflagging efforts to make their lives better were distraught when Father Gerry was brutally murdered in 2009 (just 2 years short of his planned retirement in Ireland).

Father Gerry was a man of contradictions: a devoted Catholic priest who longed for the opportunity to marry, a dedicated human rights activist who found humor and mischief in everything, and an ardent supporter of people his Church historically marginalized, including unwed mothers and same-sex couples.

This film focuses on the the life of Father Gerry as told by his closest friends, family members and former parishioners from around the world. Through audio interviews and home videos, Father Gerry essentially narrates of the story of his own life.

This has been a labor of love that Cornelia & I have worked on for the past 3 years, and we would be delighted to share this film with you. Hope to see you there!
