Zoom retreats at Boarbank Hall: Living Laudato Si'
February 18th
Following the popularity of their October and January Zoom Retreats, Living Laudato Si': Your Parish and Your Planet, Boarbank Hall is making the most of continued Lockdown to offer another on:
16th-19th April.
By the standard of present crises, Covid-19 is minor. But the major disasters that threaten - social, economic, ecological, spiritual - are so daunting that they paralyse us. How on earth do we start tackling them? Who on earth can take the lead? It's all so urgent - but when will something be done? How about you, here and now? No, we can't do this alone.

Or maybe you have already started there and need encouragement, support or ideas.
The Zoom Retreat will be led by Sr Margaret Atkins,...
