The arts give expression to the beauty of the faith and proclaim the Gospel. – Pope Francis
In 1995, to celebrate 100 years of film, the Vatican released a list of 45 “Great Films”. These films fit into 3 different categories, Religion, Values, and Art. It is interesting that several of the movies we chose to show last year are on this list, including “The Mission” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Our next Catholic Adult Organization Movie Night Series selections will be chosen from this list as well. If there is a specific one you are interested in seeing, please let me know.
