Dear All, October 8th – a big day for us – our Foundation Day! 380 years ago today our community was founded in Liege, present day Belgium: a very brave couple of Englishwomen who had had to go to another part of Europe in order to become Religious owing to the troubled post-reformation times in…
Dear All, Another week has gone by & we are into October! Nationally, September has been a momentous month with the death of our Queen, the accession of King Charles III & a new Prime Minister.

Dear All, Time is passing so quickly: the last Saturday in September. I expect the events of the last couple of weeks have given you much to reflect on – they certainly have done for me. If you have any more ‘space’ for further reflection here are some things that focus on ‘Harvest’. …

Dear All, Another week into summer so we thought a few ‘summery’ reflections could be good after all the big feasts etc. And our blessing today is ‘Deep Peace’, a Gaelic blessing from ‘Libera Peace’. We hope you enjoy it. I will pray it very specially for anyone amongst us who is greatly in need…
