Holy Cross Community

This documentary tells the story of the Nipmuc/Native American identity of the land on which Holy Cross now sits. It covers Nipmuc relations with colonial settlers and the Jesuit community from the 1500s to today. The film visits sites that will be familiar to students and community members and views them through a Native American perspective and through the stories they tell of the profound environmental changes to this area.

The Gospel Choir from St. Augustine's Church in Washington, DC, the Mother Church of Black Catholics in the Nation’s Capital, will provide music for All Saint's Day Mass followed by a mini-concert of their repertoire.
