The theme of the day is Beyond Words. We will read a Beyond Words book which is a book told in pictures. We will look at a book about a refugee's journey and reflect on it in groups. During the day there will be opportunities to join in with the monastic offices, lectio, walk to the quiet garden, time for reflection and social time. There will be a Promise Ceremony facilitated by Adam as part of the day when we will be welcoming Irene Shepherd and Lesley Trott who will be making their Promise. Saturday Evening Vigil Mass at Worth is at 5pm.
