The Archdiocese of Los Angeles invites the faithful to support ALIVE, a new documentary film about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Bosco Films and Hakuna from Spain have arranged for a unique opportunity to make a film on the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist available nationwide in the United States. They were able to get one night, on April 25 at 7 p.m., in theaters across the country, with showings in the Archdiocese of LA and Diocese of Orange. This film provides our community of faith a unique opportunity to share with others this moving experience of the transformative power of the Eucharist, while also helping us nourish our own personal connection to the Eucharist in our daily lives.
