Kia ora and greetings,
“The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is to running.” What a wonderful wisdom by Simone Weil.
In February, Titipounamu Study & Joy organised the first round of Q&A and discussions about our Holy Scriptures. We will continue these 1h Zoom session on each first Sunday of the month.
Our next series consists of 4 sessions on the topic of miracles. Kieran Fenn fms will lead us through Miracles in the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke.
If you have been using our Stations of the Cross with a special focus on hands, you might like to know that there will be an opportunity to see the original carvings on on 23 March. Our reflection booklet on the Stations of the Cross is available in English, Samoan and German. We hope to have the Fijian version available on that day. You can order the booklets through our website. They are available for $7 (incl. postage within New Zealand).
Titipounamu Study & Joy will continue to offer various opportunities to learn more about our Holy Scriptures:
We will start a 1h Zoom session on the first Sunday of the month. This will be an hour of questions and answers. As there are not always absolute answers, the sessions will be about unravelling Bible stories and looking for answers together.
Our next series consists of 4 sessions on the topic of miracles. Kieran Fenn fms will lead us through miracles in the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke.
This year, Lent will start on 14 February. If you are thinking of praying the Stations of the Cross with a special focus on hands, please remember that our booklet on the Stations of the Cross is available in English, Samoan and German. We are currently working on a Fijian and Croatian translation.
