The Indianapolis premiere of the documentary Tolton Speaks will take place at Marian University, 3200 Cold Spring Road, in Indianapolis, from 6:30-9 p.m. on July 16.

A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m., along with a viewing of Father Tolton sculptures. The documentary will be shown from 7-8:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer session with retired Bishop Joseph N. Perry of Chicago, postulator for Father Tolton’s sainthood cause.

The documentary tells the priesthood journey of Father Augustus Tolton, America’s first recognized Black Catholic priest whose cause for sainthood is under investigation.

Born into slavery and prohibited from entering any seminary in the United States, Father Tolton defied odds and social expectations in becoming a priest. Learn about his extraordinary story through expert interviews, historical documents and his words as told through never-before-seen letters.
