Work may include planting, harvesting, working soil, clearing beds, petting chickens, feeding sheep, or whatever needs to be done on the farm that day. The morning will begin at 9:30am and end around 12:30pm. We will provide lunch to those who wish to stay. We are unable to provide rides to the farm but will help volunteers coordinate carpooling.

Join us for one of the most iconic hikes in the Half Moon Bay area: Montara Mountain North Peak Loop! This beautiful trail offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean as we make our way to the summit, where we’ll celebrate Mass in a scenic spot near the top. After the hike, you’re welcome to head back to Stanford with the group or join others for a bite to eat before returning. Also, 7/11 is free Slurpee Day at 7/11, so be sure to stop by the location in Half Moon Bay on the way home.  Most of the trail is fully exposed to the sun, so be sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and any other sun protection you’ll need. We are leaving early to avoid the hot afternoon sun.

Please join the Stanford Catholic Film Group on Monday, May 11, to discuss First Reformed (2017). Written and directed by Paul Schrader (Blue Collar, Affliction), this movie was nominated for Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and won numerous other awards for Schrader and Ethan Hawke, who stars as Reverend Ernst Toller. The Atlantic called it “[A]n embittered look at our world through the eyes of someone who’s increasingly horrified to be a part of it…one of the most searing cinema experiences of the year.” The film asks if despair can be contagious, especially if the new victim is susceptible, like an immuno-deficient patient. We’ll be meeting at 7:30 on Zoom. It’s available very widely to rent or purchase. https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/first-reformed or YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As19i21CCYo

A Zoom link will be sent the day before, so if you’re not on the email list currently, send a message stating “I’m Interested” to StanfordYRCFilm@gmail.com.

Everyone is invited!
