Understanding the Vatican Council

Canon Philip will lead five sessions over the next months looking at the Second Vatican Council and also examining four of the major documents (‘Constitutions’) which were published by the Council. Although they are 50 years old, they still have a freshness today and can help us better understand and live our Faith. All are welcome to come along to these talks which will be on Friday evenings at 8.00 pm at Grotto Hall at Saint Anthony, Onchan.

Friday 11^th January 2013: Sacrosanctum Concilium—the document on the Liturgy.

Friday 25^th January: Dei Verbum  - the document on the Word of God.

Friday 8^th February: Lumen Gentium—the document on The Church.

Friday 22^nd February: Gaudium et Spes—the document on the Church in the modern world.

All are welcome. Tea and biscuits served!

 

Year of Faith

The Year of Faith begins on 21^st October. What do you plan to do with this opportunity to deepen your understanding of what we believe and how we live it?

 

Did you know...

That the Pope has decreed the celebration of  a Year of Faith which begins on 11th October this year to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Opening of the Second Vatican Council and the 20th Anniversary of the publication of  The Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Any ideas of how best we can celebrate this through our Parishes?
