Finding God in the Dark
Walsh Jesuit’s Film Series for Adults
Sponsored by the Office of Mission and Identity
Saturday, April 6, 2013
7:00 p.m. in the Walsh Jesuit Theater
Note: We began this year’s film series with a showing of “The Way” about a spiritual pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela (The Way of St. James), a journey of the body, mind, and spirit to the shrine of James the Apostle in northern Spain. We end the year’s series with another pilgrimage film, but a pilgrimage of another type, equally transformative.
Sponsored by the Office of Mission & Identity, this program screens recent feature films and offers the opportunity for reflection and discussion afterwards. Films which highlight themes from St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises are selected. They remind us of the constant dialogue that goes on between God and ourselves.
There is no charge. For further information, contact Fr. Don Petkash at 330-929-4205, x. 265
Future dates for Finding God in the Dark will be announced on the Walsh Jesuit High School web site beginning in the fall.

The Motorcycle Diaries a film by Walter Salles 2004 126 minutes Following two young men on their motorcycle trip along the length of South America, the film is nominally a story about a bike ride, but it is really about the transformation such journeys engender so magnificently. It eloquently and remarkably captures the budding ethical, emotional, and political sensibilities of a legendary man of history, Che Guevara. The film is a striking document of a man’s relationship to his world, an important and satisfying journey through the conscience. The film won the Oscar for best original song and numerous international awards. |
