Advent Scripture Course 2024:
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. 

Scripture Summer School 2024:
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 explore some of the examples of prayer found in the Bible. The course will take place online, and in-person in Maynooth.

To mark both the 2025 Holy Year, "Pilgrims of Hope," and the Council of Nicaea, the Dominican Lumen Centre and Tarsus Scripture School have come together to plan a visit to Nicaea (Iznik today) and Constantinople (Istanbul). In fact, we will be visiting three of the four places where early church councils were held: Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381) and Chalcedon (451). For further information, click on the links below.
