The Knights of Columbus Council #7704 of Crete will host a speaker and a movie April 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the church hall, 1331 Hawthorne Ave., Crete.

Jim Bertrand, M. Ed., is a retired teacher, a member of St. Peter Parish in Lincoln, and a member of the American Confraternity of the Holy Shroud. He began teaching high school science in 1981, and taught high school science for 39 years. He is now retired, working full time giving presentations on the Shroud of Turin.

Bertrand has given hundreds of talks around the nation on the Shroud. He uses a life-size replica of the artifact – 14.5 feet long and 3.5 feet wide.

After his presentation, attendees can watch the film, “The Shroud of Turin; Scientific Evidence of the Passion,” by award-winning producer David Rolfe. The film is 59 minutes, and in English.

Food and snacks will be provided.
