Frances Hogan is a lay missionary and educator working in the Catholic Church since the late 60's. She worked as a missionary in West Africa for some years. She has taught in schools in Africa and Ireland. From the mid-80's she lectured in the Milltown Institute of Philosophy and Theology in Dublin, and served four years on the Theological Commission of the Bishops. She is also trained as a Spiritual Director and Retreat giver.
Since the '80s Frances has written ten books, now out of print. Over the years Frances has made many teachings on Scripture and the Spiritual Life available for sale on hundreds of cassettes. The current list is available in her online shop, now only available in digital format on franceshogan.com
Frances no longer gives Missions in parishes, as well as Retreats and Seminars to people mainly in the English-speaking world. She continues to give Scripture classes from her home.
Your mention of Simeon reminded me of what I had been thinking. When the Holy Family fled to Egypt, the most probable place they would have headed to was the Essenes temple in Egypt and then stayed with their community there. God had planned the birth of the Messiah meticulously and so it can’t be a coincidence that the Essenes who were awaiting His birth happened to have a temple in Egypt, the very place the Holy Family fled to.

Hello FH’s support team.
Am I able to revisit Frances’ talks at a later date? Also, I can’t find the option to donate again to this great work.
Blessings
