This year, there is a great deal happening locally in the area of Spirituality. After careful reflection, the MASC Executive has decided that rather than adding further to an already rich calendar, it would be more meaningful for us to collaborate and participate in the many valuable programmes and events being offered by our partners.
As always, MASC will continue to organise workshops for practitioners in Spiritual Companionship during the year. These will provide spaces for growth, reflection, and mutual support in our shared ministry.
On September 25, the MASC Executive was invited by the Department of Moral and Spiritual Theology within the Faculty of Theology to meet with Prof. Donna Orsuto from the Pontifical Gregorian University, Dean of the Moral & Spiritual Theology Department. Prof. Orsuto has served as examiner for dissertations and as an invited lecturer in the MA in Spirituality programme. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to share insights on the study of spirituality and spiritual companionship, while also exploring potential avenues for collaboration. Prof. Orsuto kindly extended an invitation to MASC members to participate in the forthcoming Academic Symposium commemorating Dorothy Day.
