Sabbatical
Dear Friends,
Welcome!
The programme for Sabbaticals at the Franciscan International Study Centre Canterbury offer those attending an oppertunity for quiet reflection, rest or study – or a combination of all three.
There is a full calendar of social events (click here for latest agenda), including day trips to historical and religious sites within driving distance of the Centre. Throughout the year there are a number of evening events where all students and friends of the Centre come together to celebrate special occasions or just to socialise with each other. We are also within close walking distance of the City of Canterbury giving students plenty of time to explore this beautiful city at their leisure.
Sabbatical students are welcome to attend modules on offer – to listen in as auditors or to sign up for essays if they choose to do so! Our courses cover modules in Scripture, Theology, Philosophy and Franciscan Studies. At the beginning of your stay with us I will meet with you to discuss your choices and offer guidance if required.
Sabbaticals can run for up to 6 months, but we request that you join the programme at the start of a term.
I assure you that the staff at FISC will do their upmost to make your stay with us a memorable one.
My door is always open and I look forward to welcoming you to the Franciscan International Study Centre.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
With love
Sr. Margaret McGrath, FMSJ
Vice Principal
Director of the Sabbatical Programme
