Details:  The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers Car Cruise & Drive-In is the first event in a new series of free Maryknoll community outreach programs that blend entertainment with education exhibits and activities to offer visitors an opportunity to learn more about Maryknoll's work in serving the poor around the world.

The drive-in will feature classic cars and the big screen performance of American Graffiti at the Maryknoll Mission Center, 55 Ryder Road in Ossining. A parking lot will be converted into a drive-in theater that can accommodate 120 pre-1988 vehicles (first come, first serve). The showcase of cars begins at 4 p.m. and the owners will enjoy the movie from their cars at 7:15 p.m.

This free event also is open to the public! Prior to the movie, all guests can enjoy the car cruise, view Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers exhibits that explain mission work in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the U.S., and tour the large stone Seminary Building that is situated prominently atop Sunset Hill along Ryder Road.

Parking will also be available nearby for contemporary cars. Limited outdoor and indoor movie seating will be available for guests who arrive in a contemporary vehicle.

The rain date is Saturday, October 1. For more information, please call 914-941-7636, extension 2493.
