Lent Course 2019: The Confessions of St Augustine
The Confessions of St Augustine is one of the greatest spiritual autobiographies written, and has had a significant impact on the church. For the 2019 Lent Course, we will be guided through the text, with this fresh translation by Benignus O’Rourke OSA, which sheds new light on Augustine’s spiritual journey. All are welcome to join us for Eucharist, simple supper and listening groups each Wednesday at 6.30pm.

Books and study guides will be available for the course, from Ash Wednesday (6 March) onwards, from the Verger’s Office.
Wednesdays in Lent: 13, 20, 27 March, 3, 10, 17 April.
Starting at 6.30pm, in the church, joining with Bread for the World, until 8.55pm
