You haven't seen a movie until you've seen it on a BIG SCREEN, as it was meant to be seen.
Cinema Committee
As we begin to reopen, the Cinema Committee would appreciate help from someone with skills in “Publisher” to produce a monthly brochure with the screening schedule.
Perhaps 1 to 1.5 hours work involved.
We would love to have new people involved to build our sense of parish community, so if you would like be involved, contact Nick Brennan: nbre5793@bigpd.net.au

We are now once again scheduling movies in our purpose built parish theatre.
We are now once again scheduling movies in our purpose built parish theatre. The emphasis going forward will be on safe community gathering with a movie thrown in. To this end, we will be providing tea and coffee, perhaps cupcakes and patrons are free to bring along their own drinks and nibbles if so desired. We will set side approx. 30 minutes before the movie for refreshments and a chat. Our resident movie guru might say a few words about what we are about to see. We will schedule these community gatherings on a fortnightly basis - Saturdays after 6.00pm Mass. Masks or proof of vaccination are no longer required for parish activities; however, we encourage patrons to wear masks in the cinema (except obviously while eating and drinking).
We scheduled the Movie War Horse (a suggestion from a parishioner email survey) recently. Unfortunately, it clashed with a long weekend Sunday and I’m sure some who would have liked to see it were unable to do so. We have therefore decided to reshow it on:
SATURDAY - 9 July Refreshments at 7.00 pm Movie starts at 7:30 pm
With the provision of beverages and cakes we are proposing a $10 donation towards the parish. There is a card reader provided to debit this amount, however, it is a donation and as such you are free to donate any amount as you see fit. Nick has provided a review from IMDB. It is a beautifully told story by a master of cinematic storytelling.
So we get an idea of numbers, if you wish to attend please phone or text

I went to see this movie not expecting much.
But, for 2 hours and 15 mins I was totally enthralled. If you want a cinematic experience
this will tick the boxes. This is simply a great
story - well told. It’s also visually stunning.
There's no distracting CGI. There's no gratuitous violence - I'll not tell you the story or give any spoilers. Except to say this. Girls - bring hankies! Guys - don't be put off by the hankies - there's plenty of good action and the story is brilliant anyway. If you want a GREAT MOVIE, GO AND SEE WARHORSE - you will not regret it.
Young Albert enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him out of England and to the front lines as the war rages on.
