“OUR LADY AT THE CENTER” PREMIERE
“Our Lady at the Center,” a new documentary presented by the OLLV Foundation and Diocese of Orange, held its community premiere in Fountain Valley on May 17. The premiere was the film’s second, following another held at Christ Cathedral on May 11.

More than 400 people from around the country came to the Saigon Grand Center event, which was highlighted by a screening of the film and red carpet with a special backdrop.

“Our Lady at the Center” tells the story of Our Lady of La Vang — the 1798 Marian apparition significant to the Vietnamese Catholic diaspora — as well as the La Vang shrine and Marian Gardens at Christ Cathedral.

Future screenings of the film are in the works in Orange County. Visit OurLadyattheCenter.com for available updates.
