Celebrating the Gift

The Lectionary used at Mass and for the Sacraments is changing this Advent.

This event will explain why it is being changed and what you need to know, while reflecting together on God's Word in Holy Scripture.

There will be clear, simple explanations from expert speakers and practical tips on enhancing your knowledge and love of Scripture and the Liturgy.

The day will include

• A range of expert speakers and Q&A sessions.
• Explaining the new Lectionary in clear, jargon-free language.
• Free lunch.

"We urgently need to grow in our knowledge and love of the scriptures and of the Risen Lord, who continues to speak his word and to break bread in the community of believers."

- Pope Francis
