A Great Day (Award Winning Catholic Short Film)
"A Great Day" (winner of the New York Indie Film Festival Awards) is a powerful short film that captures the heart of the Catholic faith, revealing the profound beauty of true forgiveness, healing, and spiritual renewal through the sacramental life of the Church. Rather than merely telling, this film shows—through visual storytelling and prayerful moments—the real power of God’s grace in action.
Set amidst the real struggles of everyday Christians, the story explores how brokenness, resentment, and guilt are not the end—but the beginning of transformation when brought to Christ. Through the presence and ministry of Catholic priests, the film depicts the vital role of the sacraments, especially Confession, Anointing of the Sick, the Last Rites, and most importantly, the Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith.
It also highlights the importance of prayer, both personal and liturgical, and the quiet yet powerful witness of those living the religious life—priests and religious who devote themselves to Christ and His Church. Their guidance, intercession, and sacramental ministry become channels of God’s mercy and healing.
At its core, the film affirms a truth the world often overlooks: that only through Jesus Christ, and the Catholic worldview, can we discover authentic, lasting forgiveness. It’s in the silence of adoration, the whispers of confession, and the mystery of the Mass that grace is poured out.
The film is now more accessible than ever with this new 30 minute version and is ideal for being shown in classrooms, youth groups, or at any other event.
