In This Issue:
Aquinas Roundtable Series
67th Annual Healing and Hope Novena
Experience the Roundtable Series
of discussions presented by the faculty
of the Aquinas Institute of Theology at
the National Shrine of Our Lady of the
Snows. Since 2008 these theological talks
have grown in popularity. A fascinating
speaker paired with a delicious lunch is
the perfect combination for an educational
and inspirational experience at the Shrine.
The Aquinas Institute is a Roman
Catholic graduate school in St. Louis,
Missouri. This Dominican-sponsored
institute strives to grasp the deeper
meaning of rich Catholic traditions while
applying them to 21st century questions.
The Roundtable Series focuses on
a thought-provoking topic each month
throughout the year. Using a question and
answer format, this speaker series aims to
draw to mind a time when Jesus would eat
with those he loved, while sharing stories
about the Kingdom of God. This is a
great opportunity to visit the Shrine and
to keep up on current issues of faith.
Visit us this fall for these exciting events:
Old Testament and Contemporary Applications
Tuesday, July 27, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Edwin J. Guild Center • Danielle Harrison, M. Div.
Reading the Old Testament Prophets can sometimes be a challenge:
Do they ever have good news to share? What do those words
spoken long ago have to say about our lives today? Most
importantly, are there any prophetic voices in 2010?
The Kingdom of God
Tues., August 31, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Shrine Visitors Center • Ann Garrido, D.Min.
In the Gospels, Jesus speaks repeatedly about a mystery called the
Kingdom of God. He prays for its coming. What is this Kingdom of
God and how can we recover its centrality in our faith lives today?
Her Life Speaks: Thérese de Lisieux’s Challenge
Tues., September 28, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Shrine Visitors Center • Sr. Carla Mae Streeter, O.P.
Thérese is “The Little Flower,” right? Look a little deeper and you
will find more than you bargained for...perhaps a “Steel Magnolia...”
