The Lay Community
of Saint Benedict
We welcome young adults, at whatever stage of life you are at. Scroll for information about the kinds of activities we offer, including trips, prayer, retreats and other events. If you would like to know more about being part of our young adults programme, please contact us at DDC@lcsb.uk
Young adult crosswalk
A crosswalk is a walk of witness, a chance to build new friendships in faith and journey together with other young Christians in preparation for the Easter weekend.
​
This year we'll be carrying the cross from Wolverhampton to Wales, staying in church halls along the way.
The Balanced Life project
Our goal in the Balanced Life project is to help young people to structure their lives in a sustainable and balanced way around four areas of focus (or pillars): finding purpose; making connections and forming good relationships; cultivating healthy habits; and making a positive impact on the world.
Please visit our Balanced Life page for further information about the project:

Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina, or "Divine Reading", is a form of prayer that has long been part of the Benedictine tradition. We have two groups that meet online every week to come together, catch up, and pray with the Scriptures.
The focus is on listening, both to God and to each other. In that way we build up community.
Everyone is welcome! It's a great way to meet other young adults who are exploring their faith and to spend some time with the Lord!

Retreats
Come and spend a weekend with other young adults, exploring and deepening in the Christian faith!
​
Our last retreat was all about discovering the Divine Office, the way that the Church prays with the Psalms. We ate together, sang together - in a mixture of languages! - and prayed together!
