Meet the Senior Tutor: Simon Stocks

Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Latest News, Meet the staff,

Simon Stocks is Senior Tutor and tutor for Biblical Studies at St Augustine’s. We asked him to tell us a little about himself and what his role at St Augustine’s College of Theology offers to our students. I’m from Manchester and a lifelong Manchester Utd supporter. I’ve also always been a keen runner, and have done the odd half-marathon, though age is catching up with me.

Fr Luigi Gioia – advent retreat beginning 29 November.

Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

On the 29th of November, we launch our next retreat which is led by Luigi Gioia. Luigi has recently joined us as an associate tutor with a specialisation in spirituality and history.

His themes tie in with the Advent season, so some of you might like to make the retreat the focus of an Advent group in your church. The sessions are ‘Waiting’, ‘Watching’, ‘Rejoicing’, and ‘Consoling’.  See…
