Feedback from previous years: 

"What a wonderful week, never wanted it to end but the desire for scripture and all that is divine never will end!"

 "The location was beautiful, food and accommodation very good... The material provided for the course was of the highest quality and Fr Terence's delivery, good humour, knowledge and patience was exceptional...The Scripture instruction was both affirming and illuminating for our faith."

"Thanks for organising the Logos Scripture Summer School - it was a great success and a healing experience in many ways for me.” 

"What a wonderful few days we had in Mt St Joseph’s…It was a great course in every way."
