This year will mark our inaugural "Annual Scripture Day" in Dromantine, Newry on August 30th. This new venture is a one-day event featuring a lecture from a keynote speaker and a number of workshops which will explore the role of Scripture in the 21st century Church, and how we might better equip ourselves to hear, read, and engage with the biblical texts.
For the coming season of Lent, we have decided to explore the themes of repentance and conversion, words which are frequently noted when talking about the significance of Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
To begin 2025, we were delighted to publish a Scripture course aimed at introducing people to the Bible, particularly those who have very little experience with the Bible, and those who may be afraid to begin reading something so large in both scope and significance! The course is free to access below.
We have chosen this year's theme as a way to enter into Advent, the Jubilee Year (with its theme 'Pilgrims of Hope'), and also to focus on the Gospel of Luke which will be read in the liturgical year ahead. We desperately need hope, and it is there aplenty in sacred Scripture if we only have ears to hear.
