Parish Movie Night
Holy Redemeer Church large screen projector will be used for the movie screenings.
Many of us see movies primarily as a source of entertainment: an opportunity to blow off steam and forget about studies and work, a pleasant way to spend an evening - alone or with friends. But just as certain books, or events, have a power to transform our lives, so do certain films. We watch them - once or many times - and all of a sudden, the feelings those characters on the screen are melded with our own.
One of the major challenges facing believers of all faiths in the modern world is that of bridging the gap between religious belief and popular culture, between spirituality and everyday life. If you like watching movies, and are interested in changing the world, beginning with yourself, come join us on Saturday night!
There is no charge for our movie nights. Everyone is invited to attend, so why not bring a friend!
Fr. Pierre
