Movie of the Month [April] - Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven
Introductory Reflection This month, I would like to share a film that I came across unexpectedly—and which, to my surprise, stayed with me. It is not a film I would have actively searched for, nor one that presents the fullness of the faith as we understand it as Catholics. Yet, it contains something worth noticing. As fathers, we are called to be attentive not only to what enters our homes, but also to how we interpret it. Not every good thing is complete, but even partial t

Movie of the Month [March] – Paul, Apostle of Christ, 2018
Introductory Reflection Cinema has a quiet way of entering the home. What we watch shapes memory, and memory shapes how we understand life and faith. For fathers, this carries a simple responsibility: to be attentive to what is welcomed into the family space. A good film can open a door to reflection, to conversation, and even to prayer, without forcing it. Keith & the Movies (2018) Paul, Apostle of Christ (2018) .

Movie of the Month - Francis of Assisi (1961)
Introductory Reflection Cinema can leave a quiet mark on a family. A film watched together does not end when the credits roll. It often continues in memory, in small conversations, and in the questions children ask days later. For fathers, this matters. We are responsible for what enters our homes. Stories shape how sacrifice, courage, and obedience are understood. When we choose carefully, we help form imagination and conscience without noise or pressure. Movie Details Twent

Movie of the Month – When History and Conscience Collide Modern storytelling often presents revolutions as heroic turning points—necessary ruptures with the past that promise liberation and progress. Yet cinema occasionally pauses long enough to ask a deeper question: what is destroyed along the way, and who decides the cost? There Be Dragons invites the viewer to revisit one of Europe’s most turbulent moments—the Spanish Civil War—not through ideology, but through conscienc

Movie of the Month – December 2025
Movie of the Month – Rediscovering the Sacred Through Cinema Our culture often encourages us to focus only on what is new, leaving the past behind. Many Catholics feel distant from today’s film industry, which can seem disconnected from the faith, leading to the sense that cinema is no longer a place where God can be encountered. Yet the history of cinema, especially in earlier decades, offers a rich tradition of Catholic storytelling that speaks quietly and deeply to the hea
