About this Event
Get insight and inspiration from expert Dominican Friars into how Mary presents the perfect model of discipleship for all Christians.
Join us at Blackfriars in the heart of Oxford for a study day for lay people, designed to strengthen your faith and understanding (online attendance also available: see below). Fr Nicholas Crowe OP (Prior Provincial, Province of England) and Fr Lawrence Lew OP (Promoter of the Rosary for the Dominican Order) will be your guides on this exploration of a key figure in the Christian tradition.
As well as talks and discussions, the day will allow you opportunities to pray in the beautiful Blackfriars church, and to have conversations with the friars and with other participants.
