It was a rainy Friday evening, but a bunch of people, mostly families, gathered at the Parish Center 1 last May 9. They lined up for free movie tickets. Popcorn, mixed nuts and drinks were served. Father John Morota, who highly recommended the movie during his homilies, welcomed everyone who came and shared some of his experiences in the seminary as a “movie buff” and even claimed that a couple of years before “If we hold on together” was a hit in this country, he had already discovered it. The audience could not wait for the movie to start. When it did, everyone was enrapt...
