Presenting: ‘Francesco – Inspiring Hope’ (1hr 56min)
Following the last club meeting where we showed the Jesuit-related 1973 classic The Exorcist, the film club continues with an excellent papal documentary.
‘Francesco - Inspiring Hope’ is the 2020 headline-making Pope Francis documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Evgeny Afineevsky. The making of this ground breaking film granted unprecedented access to His Holiness, providing an intimate look at a global leader who approaches challenging and complex issues including: climate change, migration and refugees, women’s empowerment, sexual abuse, the global pandemic, and many others.
The director, who achieved Oscar and Emmy nominations for his 2016 documentary, Winter on Fire – Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom, will be joining us and will participate in a Q&A after the film.
With a Covid-limited attendance, please register to attend by emailing David Hurst (the event organiser) at dthurst52@gmail.com.
We look forward to welcoming you!
During this weekend Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality.
This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
