Wednesday Afternoon at the Movies May 27th, 12:30 - 2:30 PM Saint John Paul II Room Hosted by Fr. Vin Ritchie Feature this week: Going My Way It’s Fr. O’Malley (Bing Crosby) again in another hit fi lm, Going My Way, from the World War II era. Actually, this movie, made in 1944, preceded our earlier feature, Th e Bells of St. Mary’s. Youthful Father Chuck O’Malley led a colorful life of sports, song, and romance before joining the Roman Catholic clergy, but his level gaze and twinkling eyes make it clear that he knows he made the right choice. After joining a parish, O’Malley’s worldly knowledge helps him connect with a gang of kids looking for direction and handle the business details of the church-building fund, winning over his aging, conventional superior, Father Fitzgibbon, played by the fi ne Irish character actor, Barry Fitzgerald.
Refreshments will be served. Th e stated runtime of this fi lm is two hours six minutes.

Amen. from Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers “I am issuing a call to peace as Bishop of this Diocese, an urgent invitation to one and all, without exception, to accept the responsibility and to commit ourselves to daily prayer for peace.” Bishop William Murphy Genocide Warning: Nearly 3 years after Christian Solidarity International fi rst issued a genocide warning for the Islamic Middle East and called on our leaders to act, religious minorities in Iraq are facing imminent annihilation... Th e UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has warned that the Islamic State is “systematically targeting men, women and children based on their ethnic, religious, or sectarian affi liation, and are ruthlessly carrying out widespread ethnic and religious cleansing in the areas under their control.” (csi-usa.org/genocide warning) Nun Initially Denied U.S. visa: An Iraqi Dominican nun, known for her advocacy of religious minorities in the Middle East, was initially prevented from telling Congress her story about terror and persecution under the Islamic State when her visa application to join a delegation to U.S. was denied by the State Department. (washingtontimes.com, 4/30/15) Under pressure from religious freedom advocates, the State Department reversed their controversial decision and Sr. Momeka fi nally addressed Congress on May 13. She reported that Iraqi Christians are “on the edge of terrible catastrophe.” “ISIS’ goal is Christian genocide. “Th e only Christians that remain in the Plain of Ninevah are those who are held as hostages. In the midst of this darkness, this suff ering, we see that God is holding us.
