Cinema Divina: Babette’s Feast
With Fr. Joe Schad, SJ
February 17, 2026
As we prepare to begin our journey through Lent, join us for a viewing of Babette’s Feast in community. This Oscar winning film is a delicate evocation of divine grace, and the ultimate film about food, community and hospitality. Adapted from a story by Isak Dinesen, it is the lovingly layered tale of a French housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late nineteenth-century Denmark. In short, it is a celebration of life.
Tuesday, February 17, 6:00 to 8:30pm
The cost of participating in this retreat is $15.
