Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas and Donnelly College – The Letters
Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas and Donnelly College recently hosted a pre-screening of The Letters at Glenwood Arts Theatre on November 13th. The movie is about the letters that Mother Teresa wrote to her longtime friend and spiritual advisor for more than a 40 year period. Archbishop Joseph Naumann, Monsignor Stuart Swetland and Ken Williams presented the film’s director, William Riead, with an original painting of Mother Teresa. A pre-reception gathering was held at Ranchview Floral, and Elizabeth Alex served as the emcee.
