2024

The theme of Jubilee was chosen as a way to enter into Advent, the coming Jubilee Year, and the Gospel of Luke. We desperately need hope, and it is there aplenty in sacred Scripture if we only have ears to hear.  

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. 

In this year's Holy Week & Easter Scripture Course, our three presenters looked at how the idea of salvation is presented in the Old Testament, the Gospel of John, and in the writings of St. Paul.

2023

The theme of this year's Advent course was "hope." Each speaker gave two presentations on hope in the Book of Esther (Jessie), the Letter to the Romans (Kieran), and the Gospel of Mark (Seán).

The focus of the 2023 Summer School was "Unlocking the Bible." We explored how to provide "keys" for encountering the Bible richly and responsibly, so that we may experience the Word of God as truly alive and active. 

As we prepare to enter the mystery of Easter, Kieran, Seán and Jessie reflect on readings from the Easter Triduum.

Pentecost is the climax of the faith year and yet somehow it can feel under-celebrated. What could be more important than the gift and the call to bring the Good News to the whole world?
