While we're on the subject of The Fraternity of St Genesius - the Genesius Film Society is showing one of my favourite films on Tuesday 20th October at 7.00pm. The venue is the HQ of the Knights of St Columbanus, 7 Ely Place, Dublin 2 (Street opposite top of Merrion Street, other side of Baggot Street - building is on the left).
Oh yes, the film - Shenandoah, starring the greatest actor from the golden age of Hollywood, James Stewart.
Before the film there will be a talk by the former President of the James Stewart Appreciation Society of Ireland (and currently Secretary of the Fraternity of St Genesius). The talk will provide an insight into how the chiastic structure of the movie mirrors the structure of St John's Gospel. Or something along those lines. Or maybe something entirely different - you only know if you come along.
Shenandoah is also one of my favourite songs - here's a brilliant version of the song by Sissel Kyrkjebø and The Chieftains.
So if you can, come along on Tuesday night and bring a friend or two. Entry is by donation.
