First Friday Series 2019 - 2020

Celtic Spirituality

Set aside time for this monthly event of spiritual nourishment. A conference and celebration of the Eucharist are the highlights of this program. There is lunch with the sisters available and opportunity to enjoy the grounds.

10 am - 12:15pm.  

      The early Celtic people had their special cultural views and understanding of Christianity.  Their influence on Christianity as a whole has come to be known as Celtic Spirituality.  This season we will explore the people, places, and practices that continue to impact Christianity through this special strain of spirituality.  

     Among the topics planned are: Celtic monasticism; the integration of Celtic spirituality with their understanding of the  environment, finding God in the Celtic "thin places," Celtic saints and holy places, the Synod of Whitby, and more.   Check this calendar frequently for update on topics and presenters.
