TBA – Reading Scripture in the Parish
Cost & Registration
Cost
We have set a higher price for the Dromantine Scripture Day at €60.
This is both to help cover the expenses of the retreat centre (venue and hospitality) and ensure the longevity of the bursary as we hope to continue this event long into the future.
In-Person Attendance Only
We believe this type of event, particularly with workshops, is best attended in-person. Therefore, in contrast to our other courses, the Dromantine Scripture Day will not be made available by livestreaming. As an additional caveat, places are limited, so register soon!
