LGBT Film Series: Saint of 9/11
Saint of 9/11September 5
6:30 PM
Lindsay Young Auditorium
John C. Hodges Library
In an enduring photograph of September 11, a team of rescue workers carry a Franciscan priest’s body from the World Trade Center. The world came to know Father Mychal Judge, a Chaplain of the Fire Department of New York City, in death as a symbol of courage and sacrifice. Mychal Judge knew the pain of loss and suffering. He struggled with alcoholism and was an outspoken AA advocate. Through his own vulnerability, imperfection and fragile humanity, he was able to reach people in their pain, shame and fragility. Father Judge was a gay man who loved his priestly work.

Father Judge was a gay man who loved his priestly work.
Saint of 9/11 weaves interviews with friends, colleagues, congregants and archival footage with Mychal’s words. The film portrays Mychal’s life as a spiritual adventure and an honest embrace of life, where alcoholism and sexuality were acknowledged. Saint of 9/11 is the story of a life’s journey interrupted. Inspired by his life, the documentary embraces Mychal’s full humanity.
