Our next talk takes place on Wednesday 8 January at 7.30pm at St Teresa's Church in Beaconsfield (HP9 2PL). The topic is ‘The Jewish Origins of the Mass’ and the speaker is Fr Jerome Ituah OCD.
Every part of the Mass is based on the Jewish Scriptures. This talk will help Christians, and especially Catholics, see the strong link between the various parts of the Mass and Jewish practices in Sacred Scriptures with their corresponding biblical references.
Fr Oseagwina Jerome Ituah is a Discalced Carmelite priest of the Anglo-Irish Province. He is the Sub-Prior of St Joseph’s Carmelite Priory, Gerrards Cross and Promoter of Vocations and Young Adult Ministry for the Discalced Carmelites in the UK. He holds a Licentiate in Sacred Scriptures from the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome and currently doing a Doctorate in Biblical Theology in St Mary’s University, Twickenham.

A series of monthly talks on the Holy Scriptures, looking at their relevance to us in our lives today. An initiative by the South Bucks Pastoral Area under the guidance of Fr Jerome Ituah OCD.
The aim of our sessions is to broaden our knowledge of and to discern the message the Scriptures hold for each of us and their relevance in our daily lives today. Each talk will “stand alone” and will be given by an invited guest speaker. We hope the sessions will offer guidance on reading the Scriptures and a prayerful and reflective time together.
There is no charge for the talks, but donations towards costs will be gratefully accepted. You can make a contribution by cash (donation basket in the church porch), cheque made payable to "Saint Teresa’s Beaconsfield" with "Emmaus Donation" on the reverse, or by bank transfer per details below.
