Hollywood Priest Virtual Film Screening

CRS West is proud to partner with Paulist Productions in presenting an online screening of its new hit documentary, Hollywood Priest: The Story of Bud Kieser!

Throughout the Sixties and Seventies, Fr. Ellwood “Bud” Kieser was one of the most well known Catholics in America.  His TV show, Insight, was broadcast across the country and featured the biggest names in Hollywood. But Fr. Bud’s life would take a dramatic turn in 1980 after being invited on a publicity trip to the famine in Central Africa by Catholic Relief Services. What he experienced there would change his ministry forever…

Hollywood Priest is a fun, profound, and entertaining documentary about a priest who not only found a way to live out his calling in Tinseltown, but who eventually learned that there is little salvation outside of the poor. Featuring interviews with some of the top celebrities from television history—including Martin Sheen, Bob Newhart, John Amos, Marion Ross, Lee Purcell, Ed Begley Jr., and Tim Matheson among others—Hollywood Priest will both entertain and inspire you no matter what your faith tradition.

Available online for virtual screening from April 20 - 27, tickets are $12.50. 40% goes to CRS! www.hollywoodpriest.com/crs
