Scripture Summer School 2025

It is no small statement to say that we are living in unprecedented times. Conflicts are ongoing in both Europe and the Middle-East. Relationships between countries are fraying. Weather events are becoming more unpredictable. Our Summer School for 2025 and will explore the role of the Bible in such a context. Join us in Maynooth or online from 16th-20th June, and stay tuned for further information!

The Annual Dromantine Scripture Day
The Bible in the 21st Century

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. The theme is "Reading the Bible" and 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. Stay tuned for further information!

Opening the Bible
Getting Started

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.

Advent Scripture Course:
Jubilee!

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.

Summer School:
Praying the Word

In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year 'Pilgrims of Hope', 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis. For our Summer Scripture School this year, we explored some of the examples of prayer found in the Bible, specifically the Psalms, the Our Father in Matthew, and Paul's relationship with prayer.
