Rated 14A. Gran Torino is an unusual "Advent/Christmas" film, but there are several parallels in this film to the life of Christ and especially the Incarnation. Faith & Film Nights with the Daughters of St. Paul foster our ability to view culture with eyes of faith. We view the film in its entirety, then place our viewing experience in dialogue with the previous Sunday's Gospel reading.

is not a penitential season as such, but more of a time of preparing
