2025 FR. WIL ILLIES 'HEART SPEAKS TO HEART' MEMORIAL LECTURE


A PILGRIMAGE FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HAITI:

SEARCHING FOR GOD THROUGH POVERTY, PRAYER, AND ACTION


Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 6:30 PM Christ Church Newman Center—Terrace 396 1st Ave. S, St. Cloud


From filming those experiencing poverty to

living with them, Gerard Thomas Straub discovered a wisdom that can only be learned by living the Gospel in a radical way. He shares his story of conversion and his decision to love through select video clips from his films. He then weaves them together with reflections on pilgrimage, poverty, and prayer, inspiring participants to contemplate their own call to respond to God and choose to love in their own way.
