Summer School – Spirituality for the 21st Century

with Fr. Frank Santucci 

Over the course of these days we will explore various different spiritual trends and movements and introduce some of the key figures. As part of this process we will look at how St. Eugene opens the door for us to living a practical everyday spirituality. This event has been organised as part of the activities to mark the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Oblates. 

Summer School 1: Do I have a spirituality?
Starts at 6:00 pm (with supper) on Mon 18th July – Finishes (with lunch) on Thurs 21st July
“Spirituality” is a word that we tend to apply to saints and mystics – but never to ourselves.
During these days we will explore the concept of spirituality and the key phases in its
development. Then, looking at Eugene de Mazenod’s life and spirituality as an example, each
participant will work at expressing their own spirituality.

Summer School 2: Spirituality and Mission
Starts at 6:00 pm (with supper) on Fri 22nd July – Finishes (with lunch) on Sun 24th July
To have a “mission” means being a missionary, a preacher, a priest or religious – or does it?
Mission, in fact, is allowing my experience of God and my spirituality to give a direction to my
life, and to make a difference in the lives of others.
Starting with Eugene de Mazenod’s understanding of spirituality and mission,
we will see its development and significance in the past 200 years – and how this can help us
to understand our own spirituality and mission.
