IDEAS & THEMES
Ready to host, but need a little inspiration? We’ve got you covered. Check out some of these ideas to help set the mood!
Idea 1 | Outside Movie Night
Purchase or rent a digital movie projector for an outdoor gathering. Find a blank wall to project the film, and complete the experience with blankets and pillows, soft outside candles, cheese, sausage and fruit to snack on, wine and beer, and some sweet treats to round out the experience.
Idea 2 | Rent a Theater
Since COVID-19, movie theaters have reinvented how they offer films — including the ability to rent the space for larger groups! We’ll work with the theater of your choice to stream the movie, while you work on purchasing enough popcorn for everyone. Perfect for large parish groups, choose to have them purchase tickets, or pay for the theater space using parish funding. Just reach out to the theater of your choice and have them contact us for details.
Idea 3 | The Comfort of Your Home
There’s no place like home — especially when it comes to watching a movie! Invite a few friends over for an informal viewing, or plan something a little more structured by inviting your school, parent, book, or faith study group. Someone brings the wine, you provide the snacks (or vice/versa) and everyone sits down for the most relaxing pilgrimage they’ll ever experience.
