Film Night at St. John’s – “The Way” – Saturday, October 20 after 5pm Mass

The first in a series of films, discussions and pot luck suppers! Following the 5:00 pm Mass on Saturday, October 20, we invite all parishioners to a showing of the movie THE WAY, followed by a  potluck dinner and reflection on the film. THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family.  Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical “Way of St. James” pilgrimage to honor his son’s desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn’t plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him.  An inexperienced trekker, Tom meets up with other pilgrims along his route. This unlikely band of misfits creates an everlasting bond and Tom begins to learn what it means to be a citizen of the world again.  Through unexpected and often times amusing experiences along “The Way”, Tom discovers the difference between “the life we live and the life we choose.” Special Request: Would you enjoy organizing the pot luck supper? If interested please contact the Parish Office at (781) 235-0045 or st-johns@comcast.net.
