A knowledge of Latin is an important resource, which unlocks the vast and rich treasures of the writings of the Church Fathers and saints of Western Christianity in their original form. This weekend will provide a concentrated introduction, which will equip participants with enough knowledge to continue their own studies with confidence. No prior knowledge is required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe first session for all Weekends Retreats begins at 7:30pm on the Friday.
