February/March news

On February 9th we began a series of talks on Wisdom Literature and the Psalms. This week's topic is Wisdom in the OT. You are very welcome to attend either on Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. or Wednesdays 6:45 pm. Talks 1 and 2 are available on the website now. Click Wisdom if you would like to read them.

More details are available from Sr. Mary Bernard, the bookings secretary. More information and booking details can be found on the Programme page.

Lent is now upon us and the Lenten retreat helped many guests to get Lent off to a good start. Sr. Mary Anthony and Sr. Mary Stella led the retreat for over 20 people. We hope to have a regular Lenten reflection for each week of Lent. Click on the link Lent to see a short reflection for each week of Lent. You might also like to listen to this site Lenten reflections on the Gospel or have a look at reflections from Richard Rohr Richard Rohr's Lenten reflections. Both sites are very interesting and may give ideas for living Lent more fully.

Have a look at our 2010 programme to see what is on this year. We are hosting a card making day on the 16th March. The cost will be £10 and all materials and cards are included in the cost. Why not get ready for Easter!
