Going back to school in September?

The Labour Day long weekend may be your last chance to watch a summer movie before classes start.

The Catholic News Service has their latest movie reviews available to help you make a choice.

C.S. Morrissey reflects in The B.C. Catholic on how stories often help us find our way to the Gospel:

All the best summer movies are ... praeambula Fidei, "preparations for the Gospel," as they invite us to consider how "nothing is without meaning."
