The docudrama “Purgatory” will be shown at St. Patrick Church in Lincoln Sunday, Feb. 16, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The movie will be presented in Finnegan Hall at 6146 Morrill Ave., Lincoln. The event is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Msgr. David R Hintz Council # 13576. The public is welcome and admission is free.
While 79% of regular Mass-goers believe in purgatory, only 57% of those who rarely attend Mass have an understanding that purgatory is real.
The “Purgatory” movie examines the fate of the soul once it leaves the body after death. It uses a book by Polish Catholic Fulla Horak to introduce the subject, in ways easily understandable by average Catholics.
Ignatius Press said the film also uses “evidence from science of near-death experiences and mystical revelations of St. Faustina and St. Padre Pio” to present “solid proof for the reality of Purgatory.”
The film was written and directed in 2020 by Michal Kondrat, creator of “Love and Mercy: Faustina.”
