Faith of Our Fathers

2023 · 80 min

A quiet, solemn historical drama that asks you to sit with the fear and resolve of hidden worship.

Overview: John Loughran is an Irish Catholic priest striving to care for his parishioners under the severe 18th-century Penal Laws when praying was forbidden, and those who celebrated or attended Mass were arrested. Yet Catholicism endured, thanks to the brave priests who hid from the authorities and ministered in secret.
