At a charismatic Catholic center in the South Bronx, three young Latino adults pray, sing and navigate relationships with their community, friends and each other.

"The Acolytes of the South Bronx" is part of the three film documentary project, "Longing for More: Young Adult Hispanic Catholics," that shares the spiritual journeys of young Hispanic Catholics in the United States as they grapple with questions of identity, faith and belonging.
