Msgr. Mee Video Tour Through Inferno
-
Have you ever tried to read the Inferno and found it a bit of a challenge? This Lent, Msgr. Mee will lead the parish through Dante's 14th - century epic poem in a series of short summary videos. He will offer insights of the 33 (plus one) cantos that comprise this first poem in the Divine Comedy series. Whether you are new to Inferno or have read several translations, you are bound to learn something new. You may choose to read along or listen to an audio version - or just watch the videos.
For those wishing to engage further in the reading, Brian Kraut, Director of Evangelization for the Diocese, will lead weekly ZOOM discussions each Monday evening during Lent from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Msgr. Mee's videos will be released daily beginning Monday, February 15. The ZOOM sessions will begin Monday, February 22. Books are available through Auntie’s Bookstore, Barnes & Noble and other online outlets. It does not matter which translation you choose, but order soon as Lent is fast approaching!
Videos can be accessed at the St. Augustine Parish VIMEO page. They will be sent directly to the email inbox for those registered for the parish Flocknote. You can register to join Flocknote below.
