Peter Turrone, PhD<br \/>\nFebruary 1, 2024 at 7 pm in the Parish Auditorium<\/p>\n<p>Science and Philosophy are two important disciplines which help us understand the universe in which we inhabit. They do not, however, impart an adequate understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, something which religion alone can bestow.<\/p>\n<p>Using the analogy of a mountain, Fr. Turrone will provide a framework, grounded in our Catholic faith, for discerning both the usefulness and limitations of both science and philosophy, reflecting upon how this knowledge is meant to shape our lives for the better.<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Turrone graduated from the University of Toronto with a PhD in Medical Science and Neuroscience, specializing in psychiatry, after which he entered the Consolata Missionary Institute Seminary. He completed a degree in Philosophy and was then sent to Urbaniana University in Rome for theological studies. He ministered in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia for three years and upon returning to Toronto worked in various parishes. Fr. Turrone is currently the Pastor of Holy Rosary Parish in Toronto, and a Benedictine Oblate novice with Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10917,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":null,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
