Faith and Films Christmas Style

In honor of the holiday season...aka Christmas...our faith and film movie for the month will be Miracle on 34th Street.

When Santa falls down drunk in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, reluctant Macy's supervisor Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara) offers the job to a bearded Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) purporting to be the real Santa! During the Christmas season, he shares a flat with Doris' neighbor (John Payne), who has eyes for Doris. Kris hopes to unite the two while winning over Doris' skeptical 6-year-old daughter (Natalie Wood).

Join us Saturday evening at 5:30pm at the Emmaus House as we watch this Christmas favorite and discuss it's relation to our faith journey. Don't forget to bring your favorite snack.
