22nd June                           Buckfast Abbey Retreat  

                                                 For anyone who would like to join us on retreat at Buckfast

                                                 Abbey, there are still four rooms available as part of our 

                                                 booking of the whole hotel from 22nd to 26th June 2026.

                                                 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

                                                Trevor Nee trev.pat@ntlworld.com for cost and further
