One-day showing (EGF) of the movie
“Radiating Joy - The Michelle Duppong Story”
Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story is the story of Servant of God Michelle Duppong, who bore witness to Christ through heroic suffering and a passion for inviting others to be transformed by His love.
Michelle Duppong was an American Catholic laywoman who served as the Director of Adult Faith Formation for the Diocese of Bismarck. She served as a FOCUS Missionary for six yearsat the University of Mary in Bismarck. On December 25, 2015, Duppong died of cancer at the age of 31.
In June 16, 2022, Bishop David Kagan of the Bismarck diocese, Bismarck, North Dakota, announced the opening of the diocesan phase of investigation into Michelle's life and reputation for holiness, which could lead to her beatification and canonization. It was announced that a formal inquiry would be started on Duppong’s life. On All Saints Day of that year, her cause for beatification was opened based on her reported holiness as well as miracles being granted through her intercession, including the healing of a woman with the same type of cancer as Duppong had. She was declared a Servant of God by Bishop David Kagan in November 2022 at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Bismarck.
As the petitioner of Michelle's Cause, FOCUS is honored to embrace the responsibility of making known to the world the importance of her inspiring and heartening story. The film, directed by Danny Anderson, tells the story of Michelle's beautiful and faith-filled life, especially during her diagnosis, treatment, and death.
The movie will be showing briefly in Bismarck, Fargo and East Grand Forks as well as a few other theaters around North Dakota.
