The Chosen is a spectacular, faith-based, multi-season television series focused on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and focused on unifying people of different faiths and backgrounds. The disciples who Jesus chose, tell us about their interactions with Him in a beautiful and believably way; through their eyes and how they were so greatly impacted.
What makes The Choseneven more interesting is our very own parishioner Dwight Ettel is an extra in season 3 - Feeding of the 5000 (see picture below)!
We are so fortunate to have Dwight lead the watch parties for this very awe-inspiring portrayal of the life of Jesus. We will use the associated study guide to foster fruitful discussions.
