Sunday, June 23: Movie Night At St. Thomas Aquinas Hall
The St. Thomas Aquinas Site Committee invites you to come to a movie showing of “The Way,” on Sunday, June 23, in the Thomas House basement hall, next door to St. Thomas Aquinas Church (corner of Waverley and Homer in Palo Alto).
Two showings will be offered: 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Each showing will be followed by a brief discussion period. From 6:00 till 7:00, enjoy a trust potluck of snacks (bring something to share), popcorn, and beverages. Donations welcome -- proceeds go to needed Thomas House improvements.
“The Way” is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. 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 pilgrimage "The Way of St. James" to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. Filmed entirely in France and Spain, this often funny and inspiring film will make you think and warm your heart.
