A day of formation for the consecrated men and women of Clifton diocese was held at our monastery on Tuesday October 17th. Organised by Fr Tony Pazhayakalam (CST), Vicar for Religious, and our own sister Maria, the day was a welcome opportunity for the various religious and consecrated lay people of our diocese to meet after the long hiatus imposed by COVID19.

Sarah Adams, Director for the Department of Adult Education and Evangelisation of Clifton, gave us some input on the synodal process and facilitated group sharing afterwards. Her insights based on her experience of the synodal process both in this country and at the European level were a source of inspiration and challenge.

Let us pray for one another and for the whole church as we learn to better walk together.
