DAYTIME COURSES

Fridays, 21 February – 27 March ∞ 10:00am – 12:30pm Discovering the Real Meaning: Using Greek to Unlock Biblical Terms When reading the Scriptures, we find words that are difficult to understand. Over six weeks, we will discover the “real meaning” of the following words: DISCIPLE, GLORY, EVANGELISM, GRACE, FELLOWSHIP, CHURCH and see how these words apply to our lives today. Most of our English translations of the Bible are great interpretations of the original Hebrew or Greek. However, in any translation, not everything that was communicated in the original language can be precisely conveyed in another language. Some nuances do not transfer well from one language to another. As a result, a translation rarely is a perfect version of the original. Let us “bridge the gap” together and get “FUEL FOR THE JOURNEY”.

EVENING COURSES

Thursdays, 27 Feb – 12 March ∞ 7:00pm – 8:30pm The Fullness of Joy: How to pursue Virtue in our Daily lives

Our Catholic faith gives us a great road map for becoming the best version of ourselves. More specifically, it indicates the virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, courage, and faith, hope, and charity as means through which we can achieve this. The Catechism tells us that the virtues allow people not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of themselves. This series of talks explores what virtues are, the habits and dispositions that lead to a virtuous life and practical steps for making positive change.

This course will unpack some of the texts typically used during the Lenten season in a sophisticated yet accessible manner and, thus, help us find wonderful lessons for this special season and for life in general. All are welcome!

Tuesdays, 24 March - 7 April ∞ 7:00pm – 8:30pm Adult Faith Foundational Programme – Part 1 ∞ What is the Church? A Journey through Themes, Ideas and Documents

The word Church is a translation of the Greek word Ecclesia, which means an assembly. The Church is the assembly, or gathering of the people who respond to Jesus Christ. What role des the Church play in Christian history and contemporary life? How can the Church work toward God’s ultimate purpose for human beings? Join us as we draw from the richness of the Catholic tradition to uncover the true meaning of Church for us. Over four terms, this four-part foundational programme will cover core topics of the Catholic tradition such as Church, liturgy, sacraments, Scriptures and the call to holiness.

EVENTS

Tuesday, 10 March ∞ 9:30am – 11:30am An Insight into Beauty: The Saint John’s Bible

The Saint John’s Bible features 160 major original artworks, created over 13 years by a team of 30 artisans. Originally commissioned by the Benedictine Monks, the Bible is part of the “Saint John’s Bible Project” that began in 1998. The volumes were created by an international team of 30 calligraphers and artists over a 13-year period. Limited to 299 sets of 7 volumes, each volume represents a portion of text and illustrations from the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible. The Bible explores the life of Jesus Christ and the early journeys of the Church in stunning detail. Striking features include the scattered use of gold leaf which represents the ‘divine’, while the use of silver/platinum reflects the principle of wisdom and detailed iconography symbolises God’s omnipresence.

Location: Newman Siena Centre, Doubleview (Clune Lecture Theatre, Room S1.01)
