Finding Faith at the movies
This year for our Wednesday night gathering during Lent, we’re using a movie study guide to explore six themes by means of major motion pictures. After our traditional soup supper, we’ll watch select clips from the following list of films, staying within a one-hour time frame. Lent is a great time for the parish to come together to deepen our faith, open our ears to hear, and do our soul-work.
