After Earth

On June 17th | 10am Mass Breakfast after Mass in the Freedom Park
NEW YORK (CNS) -- You can't go home again. So, at least, the title of a 1940 novel by Thomas Wolfe admonishes us. That's a bit of advice the characters in t h e gr u e li n g s ci -fi ad ve n t u re "Aft e r Earth" (Columbia) -- not to mention the real-life folks behind this plodding project -- would have done well to heed. Set 1,000 years after humans have been forced to evacuate their environmentally despoiled home planet -- get the message? -- director and co-writer (with Gary Whitta) M. Night Shyamalan's coming-of-age drama finds its two leads inadvertently revisiting this crazy old world by way of a crash landing during an intergalactic military mission. Needless to say they don't exactly get a warm welcome. While the absence of homo sapiens has permitted nature to return to a flourishing state, it's now full of people-averse predators. That's bad news for Gen. Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and, even more so, as things develop, for his teen son, Kitai -- played by Smith's real-life son, Jaden. What with their downed spacecraft scattered all over the once-again-wild landscape -- gosh darn those destructive meteor showers! -- and the rest of its crew dead, and Dad temporarily disabled ... well, the only way out of this pickle is for Kitai to embark on a maturity-earning quest to retrieve the signal beam that represents the surviving duo's only hope of rescue. It's not a journey on which most viewers will enjoy accompanying him. Think lions and tigers and bears sounded bad? How about poisonous leeches, a polluted atmosphere requiring inhaler hits every few hours and a ticked-off raptor with the approximate wingspan of a 707? As for a purely fictional breed of snarling monsters that prey on human fear -- called the Ursa -- the less said about them the better. The filial relationship at the heart of the proceedings -- Cypher allowed Kitai to tag along on the expedition in the first place so the two could bond -- is ultimately characterized by self-sacrificing love. This, despite the emotional conflict resulting from a family tragedy we glimpse in flashbacks. But the warrior code by which Cypher lives -- and which he strives to instill in Kitai -- seems to have more in common with Zen Buddhism than with the values promoted in Scripture. Thus Cypher repeatedly insists that Kitai become intensely focused on, aware of, and at one with his surroundings. And the only way to overcome those pesky Ursa is to "ghost," that is, to render yourself entirely free of fear. The script's glib portrayal of the bonds uniting veterans, moreover, will strike at least some moviegoers as either jingoistic or exploitative. The film contains much action violence, some of it bloody, gory medical images, a stifled crude term and a few mildly crass expressions. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Retrieved from http://www.catholicnews.com/

Pastoral Visitations
There is simply no place more appropriate than the home for pastors to interact with their parishioners in a personal manner. And this holds true whether such interaction is for the purpose of leading a person to Christ, reclaiming a lost soul, or offering support and guidance. For this reason, our Pastor, Father Joseph would like to start Pastoral Visitations to give parishioners the opportunity of meeting and knowing him. He would like to visit parishioners homes twice a week, so if you are interested in receiving the special visit of our Pastor, please contact the PLC Lola Rivera to schedule a Pastoral visitation @ (706) 791-4829, or plc@saintmichaelparishfg.org. Father Joseph is looking forward to visit your home, talk and pray with you and your family in earnestness and humility.
Confessions
Private confessions at St. Michaels are available for you before Mass on Saturdays 4pm and Sundays at 8am in the confessional box located in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, but also face-to-face and by appointment at your convenience. Confessions are available in Spanish when Father Joseph celebrates mass.
Matrimony
Arrangements for marriage preparation should be made at least six months in advance of the proposed date. If there has been a prior marriage that has not been annulled by the Catholic Church, more time may be required. Participation in a marriage preparation workshop/program is required. Initially, all requests of information should be directed to the Catholic Pastor at (267) 243-5861.
Baptism
In order to receive Baptism, parent(s) must be registered and attending Mass. Dates and times of Baptism can ONLY be set after registering for Pre-Baptism class, and talking with a Priest.
