To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure;

St Augustine of Hippo.

For some, the word Bible brings feelings of comfort, authority, and wisdom. But for many, it can also evoke apprehension and uncertainty, as the Scriptures can seem mysterious and hard to understand. Many who had open and read the Bible, often find themselves feeling lost in its ancient style, seeming repetition, confusing and even not relevant to today’s society and religion.

But don’t worry! You’re invited to join a guided group study where we’ll journey through the Great Adventure together. Discover how God has gradually revealed Himself throughout history and how His story continues to unfold today. Within God’s divine story, you could uncover the purpose and meaning you were created for. Take the next step in exploring the Bible—it’s a journey that could transform your faith and your life!

VENUE: St Timothy Catholic Church, 17 Steven Road, Vermont

Start date: 22 May 2025

Cost of material: $50 (include textbook & 1yr online access)

First Class relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, teenager Social influencer

International Exhibition of Miracles of the Holy Eucharist

(July 28 – Aug 10, 2025) at St Luke’s and St Timothy’s 

Meet Carlo Acutis ✨ Born in 1991, loved football, Pokémon, and animals… but his first love Jesus in the Eucharist. Despite having non-religious parents, Carlo never passed a church without going in to "say hello to Jesus." His deep faith brought his whole family back to God.

At just 14, this self-taught computer genius created a global exhibit on Eucharistic miracles to show the world that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. He limited video games to 1 hour a week so he could spend more time helping the poor, the lonely, and those in need.

When he was diagnosed with leukemia at 15, he calmly offered all his suffering to God, saying: "I’m happy to die because I’ve lived my life without wasting a minute on things that don’t please God."? Carlo Acutis is now a Blessed—to be the First Millennial saint and role model for our times. His message? "The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven."
