The Presentation Brothers are hosting a series of Lenten talks which offer practical tips for living faith in Ireland today.
The ‘Monday at the Monastery’ series of talks returns to the Presentation Brothers’ house in Glasthule, Co. Dublin for four Mondays during Lent.
The series has proven popular since it began in 2013, as part of the Brothers’ desire to re-engage anew with their mission. In the last decade their focus has moved from work in schools to a mission of youth ministry. They also seek to be “bold and creative” in their efforts to be authentic and attractive witnesses to the Gospel.
Evangelisation Officer, John Quinn said that he endeavours “to get speakers who have a relevant message for people today”.
This Lent, the talks will focus on where faith meets everyday life in Ireland today.
Former Down GAA footballer John McAreavy will speak about his experience of trying to live out a merciful, loving faith on March 6. The next week, broadcaster and Presentation Brothers College Cork alumnus George Hook will explore a life of faith.
On March 20, Maria Steen of the Iona Institute will look at maintaining the Catholic faith in today’s culture.
The final talk for this series will take place on March 27, when lay hospital chaplain and mother of three, Marianne Quinn will discuss the challenges of keeping the Faith.
The talks are free to attend, but booking is advisable by emailing events@presentationbrothers.org
Each talk begins at 7.30pm and finishes by 9pm.
