Mother Teresa: No Greater Love Premiere Event
November 2nd & 3rd in select theatres
The newest documentary film from the Knights of Columbus will be premiered in British Columbia theatres on Nov. 2 and 3 in Surrey, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Penticton and New Westminster. The film premiered in the U.S. earlier this month and was a smashing box-office success. In fact, it earned more than $1.2 million in ticket sales and Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly announced that the Knights would allocate all of the revenue it receives from ticket sales to charitable purposes and efforts that advance the legacy of Mother Teresa.
