The sisters doing the presentations in the morning will also leave you some questions to think about. These questions will be taken up in an informal and optional discussion from 2.15 p.m. - 3 p.m.

3.15 p.m. – 4 p.m.  “Arise” talk by Sr. Mary Stella and she will leave you with some thoughts to take away with you at the end of the day.

At 4.30 p.m. each day, the sisters pray silently in chapel for all those affected by the Covid crisis. Those who wish are invited to join us for that time, which will be followed by Vespers, both live streamed from Chapel, closing our day together.

We would ask you to book in for the day you would like to follow.                  Please contact Sr. M Bernard on hyningbookings@yahoo.co.uk  or 01524 732684 before Thursday 18th February if possible.

There will be a voluntary contribution of £10 or £15* for the day, but we would not want anyone who wishes to join us to be left out because of finances.

*If you choose the £15 option, we are also offering 2 follow up discussion sessions on 10th March and 24th March on Zoom at 6 – 7 p.m. each evening.  This will be an opportunity to share on Lent and other ideas from the retreat, especially if you need support on your Lenten journey.  These need to be booked when you contact Sr. Mary Bernard.
