Adult Faith Formation: Lenten Lecture Series on St. Augustine

Please feel free to come to any of the below sessions; walk-ins are welcome.

The Confessions of St. Augustine is perhaps one of the greatest spiritual masterpieces ever written; it is the most widely cited spiritual work beyond the Bible itself. This five-part series will begin to tackle this Doctor of the Church’s great work, while attending adults are able to reflect upon and share insights on the spiritual life and its common struggles in a small group format.
 
While encouraged, it is not necessary to read Confessions at this time. We will use the translation by Frank Sheed, but other translations are close enough to work. There are free audio versions easily available online in podcasts, on YouTube, etc.

We will meet on the following Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30pm in Fr. Moorman Hall:
 
March 3             An Intro to Augustine and The Confessions
March 10           Reflections of Augustine on Childhood
March 17           Augustine’s Turbulent Adolescence
March 24          Augustine as a Young Adult: Fleeing,                                                                  Searching, Resisting, Intense Suffering
March 31           Reunion with Monica and, at last, Conversion
