And he chose twelve of them

Jesus appointing the apostles by James Tissot (1836-1902)

We are all familiar with the story of Jesus' calling of the twelve apostles but who exactly were they, what became of them after the Ascension and what is their significance for Catholics today.

In a series of talks hosted by the Library, Br. Christian Moe cfc will explore the lives and legacy of the Twelve, focusing in particular on the apostolicity of the Church and the role of St. Peter.

Join us then on Wednesday 12th March from 1-2pm and again on Wednesday 16th April as we enter the intimate circle of those whom Jesus called "to be with him ... that he might send them to preach."
