Screening History

The primary way The San Damiano Foundation “puts the power of film at the service of the poor” is to give charitable organizations featured in our films a powerful fundraising tool. But of almost equal importance is the educational value derived from showing the films at churches and schools. The following is a list of churches, high schools and universities where Gerry Straub has shared his conversion story and communicated the need for people to help the poor. At each event, a full film is screened or parts of more than one film are viewed.
