The Carmelite Library has been successful in its application for a Community Heritage Grant from the National Library of Australia, in the 2021 round of applications. The project is a ‘Significance Assessment of the Carmelite Library Rare Books Collection’. We are very excited about this recognition and look forward to working with an assessor in the coming year. The Library holds an important and growing rare books collection, with titles from every century since the 16th century. Community Heritage Grants provide non-profit community organisations with funding to assist with the preservation of locally owned, but nationally significant collections. The grants are also aimed at making these collections more publicly accessible.

Carmelite Conversations A Reading of the Poetry of Jessica Powers Wed 4 March 2020 10.30am – noon with Philip Harvey Jessica Powers (1905-1988) lived most of her life in the state of Wisconsin in the United States, over half of that in the Carmel of the Mother of God in Milwaukee, then when it moved to Pewaukee. She took the name Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit when she received the habit at the age of 37. Jessica started writing poetry when she was a teenager and it went from there. This session is essentially a poetry reading, for enjoyment and edification, of many of her poems. There will be a biography of the poet and a paper on aspects of the work. The rest of the time we will just hear poems and talk about them.

LIBRARY LECTURE 2 at The Carmelite Library tonight at 7pm - All Welcome! The Challenge of Secularism: Staying Strong in a Post-Christian Society Tuesday 11 June 2019 7.00pm – 9.00pm with Barney Zwartz • What secularists want – to remove religion from the public square and make it a private matter – and why this is dangerous. • The growth of Identity politics and its spread in the public arena. • Some thoughts on the Israel Folau case. • Has Christianity, as secularists increasingly allege, been a malign force in Australia? • How Christians can respond positively, rather than retreating into the bunker. Barney Zwartz was an Age journalist for thirty-two years, and worked as letters editor, opinion editor, chief sub-editor, and religion editor, the latter for the last twelve years of his time with Fairfax. Winning several multi-faith awards, he covered two papal conclaves in Rome, the clergy sexual abuse crisis, and issues around Islam, among other subjects. He retired in 2013, but still writes about classical music and opera for The Sydney Morning Herald and Age, and has a regular faith column for the Sunday Age. Now Barney is a senior fellow of the Centre for Public Christianity, and a media consultant to the Anglican Primate of Australia, Melbourne Archbishop Philip Freier. He is married to author Morag Zwartz, with whom he has four children.

SPIRITUAL READING GROUP Tuesday 16 April 2019 | 4.30pm - 6pm with Susan Southall Timothy Radcliffe OP: Telling the Truth From childhood, Timothy Radcliffe was fascinated by the word ‘Truth’. Educated by the Benedictines at Worth and Downside, he met no one who challenged his Catholic faith until he left school, and was asked: ‘But is your faith true?’ He was inspired to study this question, and when he found there was a religious order whose motto, ‘Veritas’ means ‘Truth’ he knew he had to join it. Timothy Radcliffe was Master of the Dominican Order from 1992-2001 and at the same time ex officio Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum at Rome. From 2002 he is again a simple friar, preaching and speaking from the Dominican community of Oxford. Venue: The Carmelite Library 214 Richardson Street, Middle Park, VIC 3206 Tel: [phone] For more information visit: https://www.thecarmelitecentremelbourne.org .......... Susan Southall is Library Assistant at the Carmelite Library, and a parishioner at St Peters Eastern Hill. She is an artist and photographer with a particular interest in sacred music. . #carmelitespirituality #carmelites #community #thecarmelitelibrary #carmelitelibrary #faith #spirituality #reading #melbournecatholic #middlepark #melbourne #australia #dominican #truth #veritas #jesus #christ #prayer #religious #timothyradcliffe #readinggroup #carmelite #library #mission https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGoDl-HYNo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=133jybo6rs16a
