Catholic Campus Ministry invites you to a free screening of the 2016 documentary "Outcasts" on Wednesday, April 19th at 7pm at the University of Memphis - University Center Theatre. The film follows the emotional journey of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal as they work across the globe with the poor and forgotten, the modern day outcasts in a hurting world. Following the screening, we will host a Q&A with the film's producer and a Friar. Please note this film is intended for mature audiences only.

We seek to evangelize the academic community by means of a broad ministry which forms the faith community, appropriates the faith, forms Christian conscience, educates for justice, facilitates personal development, and develops leaders for the future.
