The
Saint Augustine Lecture Series initiated by Bishop William
E. Lori in 2006 in honor of Saint Augustine, the patron of
the Diocese of Bridgeport and a model for us in
searching for the truth and of vigor in evangelization is a
diocesan initiative organized by the Office
for Pastoral Services. Its aim is to foster the ongoing faith formation of the laity
and to provide a vehicle for evangelizing
the culture.
The Lectures are offered in
conjunction with the implementation, in our 87 parishes, of "Following
in the Footsteps of Christ," the Pastoral Plan for Evangelization
in the Diocese of Bridgeport.
Since the Pastoral Plan is centered in the liturgy,
we want to offer
opportunities for parishioners to grow in their devotion to the
Real Presence of the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Therefore,
prior to each Lecture, we provide Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction.
Opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Penance is available
as well.
When possible, videos of Saint Augustine Lectures will be
posted here.
Father Bill Petrie spoke
on "Saint Damien of Molokai" on November 5.
