Church of the Assumption Presents
An Evening with Michael Collopy
Renowned Portrait Photographer of St. Mother Teresa
Wednesday, March 19 at 6:30 PM
As We Continue Our Lenten Journey…
Lent is not just a season — it is an invitation.
An invitation to go deeper.
To love more boldly.
To serve more generously.
To draw closer to the heart of Christ.
This Lent, experience an unforgettable evening of faith, beauty, and inspiration with Michael Collopy, the photographer who spent years alongside St. Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta.
Michael captured the official image used at her canonization and authored the powerful book Works of Love are Works of Peace. But more than photographs, he captured moments — quiet acts of mercy, hidden sacrifices, and radiant joy in the midst of suffering.
Through moving images and deeply personal stories, you will encounter:
• The humility and courage of Mother Teresa
• Behind-the-scenes moments few have witnessed
• Stories of radical compassion in action
• A renewed call to become “Architects of Peace” in our own families and community
This is more than a talk.
It is a Lenten awakening.
Come be inspired.
Come be challenged.
Come be renewed.
Let this sacred season draw you deeper into Christ’s call to love, serve, and bring peace to our world.
All are welcome. Bring a friend.
