An Evening of Faith, Reflection and Spiritual Enrichment

November 25, 2026 - 7:00 pm

Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, 10 Whitehorse Road, Deepdene VIC, Australia

The Lifelong Learning Group warmly invites parishioners and members of the wider community to a special evening exploring the Prayer of the Church and its significance in our Catholic faith and spiritual lives.

In a recent General Audience, Pope Leo XIV encouraged the church to rediscover the importance of prayer, and in particular, the Liturgy of the Hours – the daily public prayer of the Church. 

We are privileged to welcome two experienced and respected presenters from the Sisters of the Good Samaritan.

Sister Jill O’Brien SGS

Educator, Liturgical Specialist and Pastoral Minister  
Sr Jill brings extensive experience in Catholic education, liturgy, parish ministry and adult faith formation.  Her knowledge of the Church’s liturgical traditions and her pastoral experience will provide valuable insights into the richness of communal prayer and its place in our daily lives.

Sister Dr Carmel Posa SGS

Theologian, Author and Benedictine Spirituality Scholar

Sr Carmel is a distinguished theologian and educator with extensive experience in theological studies, Church history and Benedictine spirituality.  Her scholarship and understanding of monastic prayer traditions will enrich our appreciation of the Church’s centuries-old practice of prayer and its continuing relevance today.

All are welcome to join us to explore the rich tradition of the Church’s prayer, particularly the Liturgy of the Hours, and discover how this ancient practice can enrich our personal and communal spiritual journeys.

Registration is necessary by Thursday, 19 November.
