New Talks for Winter 2010

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 "An Ancient Way of Life in a Modern World"
Speaker: Br. Jason Flammini OP

St. Dominic founded the Order of Preachers in the 13th century. Yet, his understanding of religious life continues to appeal to people today. Come out and hear the youngest brother of his province, living here at the Dominican Friary in Ottawa, speak about the religious vocation today and how he fits into the 800-year-old Dominican tradition.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010"What Does Catholic moral thought have to say about 'being a man'?"
Speaker: Fr. Mark Slatter, SThD (Pontifical Gregorian University)

Be a man! What does that mean? What should that mean? Come out and hear popular priest, professor at St. Paul University, and moral theologian Fr. Mark Slatter discuss what it means to "Be a Man" in the world today.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010"More than flowerpots: the importance of women in the biblical narrative"
Speaker: Claire Johnson

Eve, Ruth, Judity, Mary. These are all figures key to the economy of salvation. Some women have their own books in the Bible, while others are featured prominently. Come hear Clair Johnson, PhD student in Biblical theology at St. Paul University discuss how women are presented importantly in the Bible and discover what this means for us today.

Tuesday, February 23, 2010"Save a Priest,
Save 10 000 Souls"

Fr. Tim, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of Ottawa, will speak on the Year for Priests, with reflections on the renewal of the ministerial priesthood, the priesthood of Christ in the Letter to the Hebrews, and implications for the priesthood of the baptized. Come out and hear the value of priesthood and what it means for your life!
