Students Attend Respect Life Month Event
Approximately 40 students from Saint Joseph Academy attended a screening of the film Cabrini, which depicts the life of Saint Frances Cabrini, the first American to be canonized and the patron saint of immigrants.
SJA was one of ten high schools participating in this event, which was part of the Diocese of Cleveland's annual observation of Respect Life Month and coordinated by Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice (CSPJ), which provided the following explanation of its significance:
- Following up on recent CSPJ focus on migration, we will gather to view Cabrini, a powerful film highlighting the Church’s historic care for migrants and immigrants and connecting beautifully with Bishop Malesic’s continued call to accompany and welcome those in our communities today. This also builds upon statements regarding care for immigrants from the Ohio Catholic Conference of Bishops and the USCCB. The screening has been generously funded by an anonymous donor in the Diocese of Cleveland, with support from the Cabrini Film Foundation.
