St Augustine of Hippo lived in the first half of the first century AD, so why are his teachings still relevant today?

Sr Moira explores what Augustinian Spirituality is and then Dr Austen Ivereigh relates this to Pope Francis’ and Pope Leo’s papacies.  Join the Spirituality Committee from the Bishops Conference in England and Wales to help explore these questions.  We will be welcomed in Selly Park and the cost includes a meal of soup and fruit.
