At St. Mary Church, Norwalk, CT:

On May 19 at 1:25pm in the Lower Chapel, Regina Pacis Academy is excited to host a special talk on the Shroud of Turin for our middle school students and invite all families and friends to join us!

The presentation, by Shroud expert, Patrick Riley, is entitled “The Shroud of Turin: Medieval Forgery or the Burial Cloth of Jesus Christ?” The Shroud of Turin is a relic, an 8-foot strip of linen with the imprint of a man’s body on it, is said to be the cloth Jesus’s burial garment. It is not a painting, nor made with any type of pigment. The image is burned into the fabric itself, creating a photographic negative.

Attendees to the talk will also get to see life-sized replicas of the Shroud. All are welcome to attend. Please feel free to share the flyer below.

To RSVP, please contact office@reginapacisacademy.org

We wish you and your family a blessed Easter!

Among the course offerings:

SPGR 6703. History of Christian Spirituality II. (3 Credits)

This course provides a solid grounding in the historical-critical, hermeneutical, and theological engagements with Christian mysticism/spirituality from the 16th century through the mid-20th century. In addition to focusing upon representative Catholic, Protestant, Reform, and Orthodox traditions, we examine recent expressions of globally contextualized Christian spiritualities. Course readings draw from classical spiritual texts and relevant secondary literature. Authors and texts typically considered include Ignatius Loyola, Martin Luther, Teresa of Ávila, Madame Guyon, Francis de Sales, George Herbert, The Pilgrim’s Tale, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Howard Thurman, Gustavo Gutiérrez, C.S. Song, and Desmond Tutu, among others. Additionally, selected themes in Christian spirituality are considered, including feminist, ecological, and social justice spiritualities.

RLGR 6032. Church and Society. (3 Credits)

This course explores how the global Christian church emerged from Christ’s kerygma and developed in different historical and cultural contexts. The course covers the emergence of historical divisions in the Christian Church and of the ecumenical movement’s response. While the course focuses on Catholic ecclesiology, it also covers Orthodox and Protestant perspectives on key themes such as authority, governance, and practice. Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on the critiques and perspectives offered by liberation theology and feminism. It asks the students to imagine how the Christian Church can adapt to its contemporary context in the student’s ministerial or professional setting.
