Join us on Tuesday, November 12 at 7:00pm in the Social Hall for a lecture with Fr. Liam Bergin – “Proclaim the Lord’s Death Until He Comes in Glory.” How does our faith in Jesus Christ influence the way we meet the challenges that face the church and the world in times of economic, political, ecclesia and personal uncertainty? In 1932 the German Benedictine Odo Casel wrote that Christian life and worship is an insertion into the “mystery of Jesus Christ”. Although not well known, the influence of Casel on the Second Vatican Council and beyond has been significant. This lecture presents some of the ideas of Casel that may well inspire women and men of faith today.
