Icons and Saints: A Summer Journey in Seeing

Ancient Images, Living Wisdom, and the Soul’s Unfolding

Many of us learned faith through scripture, hymns, and stories. This summer, we’ll discover another way Christians have shared the gospel: through images. Together we’ll explore ancient icons and the sacred symbols hidden within them—halos, colours, gestures, light, and unexpected details that tell stories of faith, hope, courage, and love. Through the lives of Francis, Hildegard, Teresa, Julian, Mary, and Jesus, we’ll learn to see with fresh eyes and uncover wisdom that still speaks to us today. Join us as we explore ancient images, living faith, and the soul’s unfolding.

Saints

week by week:

• St Francis of Assis — Seeing the Sacred in Creation

“Each week we read a different icon—not as decoration, but as a doorway. Ancient images. Living questions. A faith still being painted into us.”
