Lectures & Courses – 2019-2020


Myth & History
Contemporary Challenges to Faith and Politics

The lecture series runs from 24th October 2019 to 7th May 2020

European civilization, not least thanks to early Irish Christianity, is rooted in that unique synthesis of divine revelation and human reason, namely faith and scholarship, which are the hallmarks of authentic Catholic Christianity. Europe today, including modern Ireland, appears to be not only abandoning its cultural and spiritual roots but even explicitly denying them. As a result we are beginning to suffer from a cultural amnesia.

Learn Classical Hebrew

at Castlecoote House

From 13th January 2020

This course aims to establish a working knowledge of Classical Hebrew grammar in order that the Biblical texts can be studied in their original language. Often referred to as the DNA of creation or The Holy Tongue, the language of the Tanakh (the Old Testament) is widely acknowledged for its theological value. The course will refer mainly to Biblical personalities and Biblical events and will broaden to examine the context in which the stories evolved.

A new beginners course starts every Monday evening at 7.00pm. Advanced classes are from 8pm–9pm.
