Upcoming talk - Liturgies of the Paschal Mysteries

Life is often a rush- busy at home, busy at work... with little time to catch our breath.

It is hard to move peacefully into the celebration of the Death and Resurrection of Christ- even though this is central to our Faith.

For a little time and space for peace, and to help us understand what the Church does in the Liturgy of Eastertide come and join Fr Lawrence Cross and others on a journey into the meaning and form of the Liturgy of season.

Fr Lawrence Cross is a noted scholar and author in theology and spirituality and is Archpriest and pastor of St Nicholas’ Russian Church in St Kilda.

The Caroline Chisholm Library is hosting a seminar at the Library to which all are welcome.
