From Friday 24th - Sunday 26th September 2021 a small group of parishioners spent the weekend in Castlerigg, Keswick for a weekend retreat. It was a wonderful opportunity to share faith and company in the beautiful surroundings of Keswick.
"The parish retreat last weekend was a very worthwhile exercise for all who were present. Katie Flood led it with enthusiasm and a lightheartedness that was much appreciated by all. The setting was stunning, the accommodation was basic but very comfortable. We had a lovely cross-section of ages which enhanced the mix."
- Fr. Colm
