The Road to Bethlehem

__________________________________________________

Advent with St Luke

led by Dom Brendan Thomas

3 Online Days - live on Wednesday Mornings
- 1st, 8th, & 15th December -
and talks and reflections available online afterwards.

2 In-person days at Belmont on Saturday 4th & 18th December



St Luke gives us a wonderful overture to his Gospel, that takes us from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the hill country of Judea, and then to the City of David, Bethlehem. He leads us from the world of the Old Testament to the promise of the New, seen in a wondrous babe lying in a manger. We treasure these stories of the beginnings of our salvation. What better time than Advent to take time to reflect and pray. Join us online, or in person for our Advent days.

At your Convenience

After each Wednesday

You might prefer to join follow these reflections quietly alone or at a later time of your convenience.

We have designed this retreat with all the essentials - videos and material for reflection - available online to make this possible.

In person at Belmont

10am to 3pm

Two distinct days for those who can join us in person, following the same themes and material as the online days.

The cost of the day will be £20, including morning coffee and afternoon tea.

A delicious buffet-style lunch prepared in the abbey kitchens can also be booked. This will cost £15 for a main course, home-made desert and coffee. [Let us know of any dietary requirements].

It is necessary to book. To do so please contact the Retreat Secretary, Fr Augustine on 01432 374750 or contact him via this link.

We will do all we can to ensure a safe environment. 

There is no charge for the online day, but it does help us enormously if you are able to make a donation to help us continue our monastic life here at Belmont and support us in our work and mission.
