Aquinas Group
13th October: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm BST
An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Monday, repeating until 1st December 2025
The Blackfriars Aquinas Group is a reading group for young adults (18-35) to enrich their spiritual and intellectual lives by studying the Church’s teachings through the lens of St Thomas Aquinas.
We meet on most Mondays in term at 7pm, in the Aula at Blackfriars. We begin with a light meal, then read and discuss the texts guided by one of the friars, before finishing by praying Compline (night prayer) together in the priory church.
This term we will look at the The Human Person in the Catholic Theological Tradition.
Each session will begin with a talk, followed by time for questions and discussion. No prior knowledge or familiarity with St Thomas is expected.
