                                              ONQ. Our Vocations Promotion team invites you to join
                                                 them for a regular Seeker Saturday, 11am-3pm.
                                                 Pope Leo XIV recently called for the creation of
                                                 communities where young people can feel accepted,
                                                 listened to, and encouraged in their vocational
                                                 discernment. Our regular gathering for Seeker Saturday
                                                 gather for exactly that purpose. If you are discerning if the
                                                 Lord is calling you to the priesthood, diaconate
                                                  or religious life, then spending time with like-minded
                                                  people can be really beneficial to any vocational 
                                                  journey. Our time together includes prayer, discussion,
                                                  Mass, Adoration and lunch too.

                                                  retreats have proved to be very relaxed and restful with

                                                  to us: Monastery daily prayer times, Lectio Divina,
                                                 Morning mass, and meaningful, inspirational, spiritual

                                                 voluntary. The peaceful atmosphere of Buckfast Abbey and
                                                 gardens enhances all we do, with everything close at hand
                                                 but by no means enclosed.
