About the Group

This is a shared learning experience rather than a formal course. Participants are asked to read the assigned Gospel passages before each session and come prepared to contribute to the discussion.

Our focus is on deepening spiritual understanding rather than academic analysis. While personal research and use of commentaries are encouraged, the emphasis remains on prayerful reflection and faith development.

The Carmelite Library (Middle Park) offers a range of helpful resources and commentaries.

Facilitation

Clare McArdle moderates the sessions, ensuring a welcoming and balanced discussion. Participants are welcome to assist in facilitating.
Fr David Hofman, O.Carm will join sessions when available.
