In a class that began in January, Fr Austin leads a Wednesday evening reading group working through what Aquinas says about angels in the Summa Theologiae. It’s really esoteric yet oddly fascinating. Newcomers are welcome, and handouts of the text are available in the class.

No need for particular preparation; we’ll just work through Aquinas slowly and see how far we get. Even just a little Aquinas can be greatly illuminating.
