At the end of June we were able to host the Belmont Parish Fete. It was such a joy to have it again after covid – its theme was “happy to be together again.”
Louise Wright and her fantastic team of volunteers organized a fantastic event.
It has been a while since we have reported some community news, but it has been quite a full summer. Here are a few of the things that have happened over the summer.
June
In June Fr Brendan returned from Rome and Assisi where he had been directing the Monastic Formators’ Programme first in Rome and Assisi. There were 26 participants, men and women from 17 different countries. At one point half the group got covid – it was always a risk – but things were soon back on track. One of the highlights was the presence of Fr Michael Casey OCSO from Australia. He is perhaps the best monastic writer and teacher today, and the group was delighted to be present when he was given an honourary doctorate at Sant’ Anselmo during this stay with us.
