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
details. Deposits will be requested from 8th Dec.
BOOKING THE HALL
If you want to make a booking in the hall, please fill in the Parish Diary on the hymn bookshelf and email the office with your booking office@stedmundhorndean.org.uk.
