Knights Movie Night

The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of Babette's Feast on Saturday, November 1 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.

In nineteenth- century Denmark, two elderly sisters welcome into their strict puritanical, protestant religious sect a Catholic widowed refugee, fleeing the violent Parisian uprisings. After many years of service, she lovingly thanks them with a generous display of amazing culinary artistry that brings restoration and healing to their community.

The most intense joys in life arise when we are able to elicit joy in others, as a foretaste of heaven. We can think of the lovely scene in the film Babette's Feast, when the generous cook receives a grateful hug and praise: "Ah, how you will delight the angels?' It is a joy and a great consolation to bring delight to others, to see them enjoying themselves.

This joy, the fruit of fraternal love, is not that of the vain and self-centered, but of lovers who delight in the good of those whom they love, who give freely to them and thus bear good fruit.

Please join us for a free screening on November 1 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall. Admission is free. Donations are welcomed to offset the cost of refreshments.

Bocce Tournament Champions

Empie Park was the location for the latest Southeastern InterCouncil Bocce Tournament held on September 20. Nine teams representing five councils competed in the modified double-elimination tournament. The first round saw three teams eliminated leaving three teams for the final rounds.  There was much jubilation when St. Mark 2, with one loss, went on to defeat the undefeated All Saints, handing then two losses.
