Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story - One Day Only
In theaters on November 12th only, so grab your tickets to see this film today! Tickets: https://hubs.la/Q02RqvL-0
Playing at Regal Downtown Spokane, Regal Spokane Valley, and Regal Grand Cinemas Walla Walla
Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story is the story of Servant of God Michelle Duppong, who bore witness to Christ through heroic suffering and a passion for inviting others to be transformed by His love. The film, directed by Danny Anderson, tells the story of Michelle’s beautiful and faith-filled life, especially during her diagnosis, treatment, and death.
In June 2022, Bishop David Kagan of Bismarck, North Dakota, announced the opening of the diocesan phase of investigation into Michelle’s life, which could lead to her beatification and canonization. On December 25, 2015, Duppong died of cancer at the age of 31.
The Michelle Duppong Guild and FOCUS, where Michelle served for 6 years, are honored to make known to the world the importance of Michelle’s inspiring and heartening story.
Whether you've already seen it or you've never heard of Michelle before, we encourage you to witness her story with your community.
