                                          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.

                                                 This will be our third visit to Buckfast Abbey. Previous

                                                 retreats have proved to be very relaxed and restful with

                                                 time to make the most of the spiritual activities available

                                                 to us: Monastery daily prayer times, Lectio Divina,

                                                Morning mass, and meaningful, inspirational, spiritual

                                                reflections led by Father Jeremy. All on offer but completely

                                                voluntary. The peaceful atmosphere of Buckfast Abbey and

                                                gardens enhances all we do, with everything close at hand

                                                but by no means enclosed.

                                                Please contact Margaret Whyte margaret@mwhyte.co.uk or
