St Augustine's Seminary is pleased to announce the next seminar in homiletics, as part of our continuing series of conferences, seminars, and workshops. Our presenter is Fr Thomas Scirghi, SJ, from Fordham University, New York and he has taught homiletics around the world. This wonderful event on June 17 offers you both in-person (at St Augustine's Seminary) and virtual attendance options. In-person attendees will receive a free copy of Fr Scirghi's book on homiletics, Longing to See Your Face: Preaching in a Secular Age. You can take advantage of a special Early Bird Discount. You will find the schedule, details, and links to register either for an in-person OR virtual ticket below.
The seminar is primarily designed for priests and deacons who have been trained to preach at Mass rather than in lay preaching. Anyone can register for the seminar, but the presenter will primarily speak to the ordained. Previous seminar attendees included Catholic priests and deacons, clergy from various denominations, and lay people with an interest in preaching.
Please note: Advanced registration (before May 17th) required for any meal restrictions.
