A short film about Ash Wednesday 2019 at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City, mother church of the Paulist Fathers.

At the beginning of the film, the interior of the Church appears very dark. This is not typical. On this busiest day of the parish’s year, the lights were temporarily on the fritz. The power was fully restored about 8:30 p.m.

Filming and Editing: Emanuele Sesta
Producer: Paul Snatchko
