LIFE IN THE SPIRIT SEMINARS ONLINE ON ZOOM
USING ‘THE GIFT’ – A CAFE COURSE
STARTING 28TH APRIL
Life in the Spirit Seminars comprise a series of talks and discussions held on six weekday evenings and a half-day retreat, supported by short daily reflections. The Seminars are designed as an introduction to a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit. They provide an opportunity for you to learn more about that life and to be helped in taking the first steps in a new relationship with Our Lord. This year’s seminars will be held online to give many people across the Diocese the chance to participate. We will be using ‘The Gift’ – which is an inspiring and practical series aimed at people of all ages to help them encounter the Holy Spirit and empower them to share their faith – developed by the Catholic Faith Exploration (CaFE) organisation Presented by well-known international speakers: David Payne, Michelle Moran, Charles Whitehead and Jenny Baker. The teachings are relaxed, personal and informative, rooted in the Bible, the Catechism, Evangelii Gaudium, and reflections on the Holy Spirit from Pope Francis. Sessions last 30 minutes and include testimonies from laity and clergy.
THE SIX SESSIONS ARE:
• The Father’s Loving Plan – Tuesday 28th April 2026
• The Joy Of The Gospel – Tuesday 5th May
• The Gift Of The Spirit – Tuesday 12th May
• Unwrapping God’s Gift – 19th May
• Encountering the Holy Spirit (Part B) – 26th May
