CAYAC

Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was an American activist, writer and Catholic convert who co-founded The Catholic Worker Movement in the 1930s. Long considered a radical and controversial champion of social justice, the cause for her beatification has been opened in 2021. 

This winter, we invite you to join a small study group planning to read Dorothy Day’s autobiography The Long Loneliness. We will meet over the course of six evenings to discuss the book, its ideas and a few questions posed beforehand. No prior knowledege is required, and all are welcome!

Meeting times:  Every second Monday at 6.30-7.30 (we may order dinner afterwards 🙂

Place: Murstenslokalet (access through the chapel behind the church

Dates: 01/ 23, 02/6, 02/20, 03/02, 03/ 20, 04/03.

For the meeting on Jan 23 there is no need to read anything, but on the following days we discuss the chapters we have read for that day (roughly 50 pages pr. meeting). At one of the meetings, we will also meet online with a person from The Catholic Worker who knew Dorothy Day.

January 22 we are celebrating the Sunday of the Word of God. The pope invites us to emphasize the importance of the Word of God both during the mass and in other ways.
We will gather in the afternoon to learn about how to read the Bible, both as a way of private prayer (lectio divina) and as a ministry of announcing God’s Word during the mass. Come and join us for moments of reflection, meditation and practicing in how to read. You can come if you are interested in helping to read during mass or if you just want to know more about how to read and understand the Bible.

We meet in Englesalen behind the church Sunday January 22 from 3 pm to 5 pm. Fr. Daniel will lead the meeting.

On the third Tuesday of the month, we will watch films with Christian content together. The movie begins at 7.30 pm. People are welcome to organize eating together after the mass that ends at 6.30.

Fr. Daniel will give a short presentation to each film, and we will spend some time afterwards to discuss the film.

Due to potential rain 🌧, we will meet instead at St Augustine ⛪️. Enter through the side door of the church by the parking lot and we meet on the brick room (just like on Sundays). There will be a grill with burning charcoals 🔥 in the inner garden, so you can still bring food for barbeque 🥩🌭🫑🥔. Otherwise, ready made foods 🥗🥘🍰 and drinks 🍺🍷 are welcome! If the weather is good 🌥, then we can have outdoor games 🥏 in the garden. Else, board games ♟are also good to have. We will move to the tower at 5 PM to continue hanging out.
