In a special Lenten observance rooted in faith, history, and community, Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Chalfonte Foundation, owner and operator of the historic Elk Rapids Cinema, will present a free, public screening of The Passion of the Christ on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

Doors will open at 6:00 PM, with the film beginning promptly at 7:00 PM. Admission is free and open to the public.

The screening is offered during the season of Lent as an invitation for reflection, prayer, and shared experience, and as a tribute to two men whose lives—though lived in different places—were deeply connected through faith, mentorship, and lifelong devotion to children and community.
