Introduction
The next Film Club presentation will be Karol: A Man who became Pope which details the life of Pope John-Paul II, from his youth as a writer, actor, and athlete in war-torn Poland to his election as Pope at the age of 58.
This film shows an extraordinary and moving journey through 50 years of history, with a outstanding soundtrack from multi-award winner Ennio Morricone.
On 30th November the second part will be shown when Karol (plot spoiler here!) becomes John Paul II.

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.
