Mariology - Poster for St. Augustine's Seminary

Register for the St. Augustine' Seminary Workshop

Dear Friends,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Advent Virtual Day of Reflection with Dr. Brian Butcher. It was enlightening to learn about praying with sacred images, including images of Mary and Jesus.  

Advent is a wonderful time to reflect and pray about new beginnings, especially the beginning of our faith journey with the holy family. Mary, the mother of Jesus, journeys with us as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord.  

If you are interested in learning more about Mary’s role in salvation history, including the Church’s belief regarding Mary, please join us for our next lay spiritual formation workshop on Saturday, January 15, 2022. I will be facilitating this day, focusing on biblical accounts, Marian dogma, and new developments in the area of Mariology. Please visit this blog page to learn more about the day’s content - tap to get there. My film, The First Lady and Her Successors, based on the life of Mary and the witness of nine amazing women, continues to be available free, on demand, on my website: www.josephinelombardi.com

Please share widely with your friends and family. Register soon using our events page. The cost is $25.00 plus HST. The event will be virtual, using ZOOM, starting at 9:30 am and ending around 1:00 pm. There will be an opportunity for sharing and asking questions. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, January 15. 

May God continue to bless you throughout the remainder of the Advent season. Merry Christmas to all! 

Warmly, in Christ,

Josephine
