Advent Retreat
This year's Advent Retreat entitled RECOVERING A WISDOM TRADITION, insights from St Hilda and Celtic spirituality that can birth a land of saints and scholars, will be led by Fr Ray Simpson. Fr Ray was born in Aylesbury in 1940 and was made a deacon in the Lichfield Diocese in 1963 and ordained priest the following year. He is the founder of the Community of Aidan and Hilda, a dispersed ecumenical monastic community based in North East England on the beautiful Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the stunning Northumberland coastline. Fr Ray has written several books on Celtic Spirituality including Celtic Blessings: Prayers for Everyday Life and Celtic Daily Light: A Spiritual Journey Through the Year. The retreat will be built around the Monastic Office and daily Eucharist when we will join with the sisters of the Order of the Holy Paraclete in the Priory chapel. To book or for more information ring reception on 01947 600051.
