Congregation

0 upcoming performances in New York

*Congregation* traces the legacy of Mary Ward, a seventeenth-century English nun who pushed against the limits placed on women’s religious life by building an education-focused network that later split into separate orders, including the Congregation of Jesus and the Sisters of Loreto. The film reads like institutional history made personal, following how a movement survives through rules, archives, and everyday labor. Its New York screenings tend to land as a quiet counterpoint to flashier faith stories, though its measured pace can feel more like a record than a drama.
