The new programme of residentials at Boarbank is now available. Several of our popular events are repeated: Thinking Faith, Two Wings & Some Prayers, and Our Lady in Latin. Recreation! will be similar to this year’s Celebrating Creation. Credo is a follow-up to a Our Lady in Latin; our Crafts & Arts weekend will run again, and our St Augustine week will focus on the Psalms All our events combine time to relax and socialise and time to pray with talks and discussions and/or practical activities. A great chance to make new friends! Participants can also enjoy our beautiful grounds and to explore the local area, as well as to join the Sisters for daily Mass and sung Prayer of the Church.
Costs: the standard cost for the Guest House, plus an optional donation to cover costs of the event. If you have financial limitations, please do not hesitate to ask if you may come on a donation-only basis.
