THE TRIAL OF THE CATONSVILLE NINE August 10-11th 2pm and 5pm

By Fr. Daniel Berrigan

A staged reading of the play adapted from the Federal trial transcript which the Catholic activist defendants underwent after their May,1968 protest action against the Vietnam War. 

They'd taken 378 1-A draft files from a Maryland Selective Service  Office, carried them outside to the parking lot, and burned them with home made napalm, and then awaited arrest.

An informed and eloquent outcry against war and militarism.
