As the daughters of a Catholic priest and nun, we knew we wanted an important story to be told. Our parents were forced at a young age to make difficult decisions that would have lasting consequences for them and their families. Lessons from our parents’ life continue to inspire our own choices and paths. We felt that by telling their story, and the story of others like them, we could at the very least document this historical moment in the lives of the many priests and nuns faced excommunication from the Church. We hope that this film will inform the debate and have an impact on mandatory celibacy within the Catholic Church. We dream that it will inspire others contemplating life-changing decisions in the face of thousands of years of tradition.
