A day of exploration of the Benedictine monastic tradition is being held at Douai Abbey in Reading. Come and discover a wisdom that helps you make better choices and offers a way to God. Catered to men and women aged 18-30. For more information and to book your place please visit www.benedictines.org.uk/post/open.
We are in the immediate run up for The Day of Prayer for Vocations, which is being celebrated on Sunday 22nd April. The theme for this year is ‘It’s Your Call’. Please click here to visit our page of resources.
If you would like to have some guidance on what kind of life God may be calling you to live out, perhaps you would be interested in having a vocation guide. You would meet up on a one-to-one basis once a month and discuss your possible calling. Please email enquiries@ukvocation.org if you would like to apply for a guide.
Alternatively, why not sign up for a retreat with a religious community for quiet reflection and time with God? See a list of upcoming retreats on our webpage: www.ukreligiouslife.org/events.
Save the date – the annual National Religious Vocations Personnel conference will take place on Saturday 3rd November 2018 at the parish of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington, London.
More details will follow in due course.
Pope Francis says in his message for the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life, “Consecrated life is born and reborn of an encounter with Jesus as he is: poor, chaste and obedient. We journey along a double track: on the one hand, God’s loving initiative, from which everything starts and to which we must always return; on the other, our own response, which is truly loving when it has no “ifs” or “buts”, when it imitates Jesus in his poverty, chastity and obedience.”
