Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story

Coming this Fall, Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story is the story of Servant of God Michelle Duppong, who bore witness to Christ through heroic suffering and a passion for inviting others to be transformed by His love.

In June 2022, Bishop David Kagan of Bismarck, North Dakota, announced the opening of the diocesan phase of investigation into Michelle’s life and reputation for holiness, which could lead to her beatification and canonization. On December 25, 2015, Duppong died of cancer at the age of 31. The film, directed by Danny Anderson, tells the story of Michelle’s beautiful and faith-filled life, especially during her diagnosis, treatment, and death.

As the petitioner of Michelle’s Cause, FOCUS, where Duppong served as a missionary for six years, is honored to embrace the responsibility of making known to the world the importance of her inspiring and heartening story.
