Men’s Evening of Recollection

On Wednesday 11 March at 7.30pm, Fr Finigan will lead an Evening of Recollection for men of the Parish. It will include a spiritual talk, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Confessions.

At the end of the evening, there will be an opportunity to meet together socially in the parish Social Club.

Aylesford Men's Retreat

Today, a group of men from the parish spent a Day of Recollection at Aylesford. After beginning with Holy Mass in the Cloister Chapel, Fr Finigan gave a meditation on the first three sorrows of Mary. The Friars provided a wholesome lunch in the Pilgrims Hall, after which the men were guided in a meditation onthe last four sorrows of Mary. The day concluded with Benediction in the Choir Chapel and a short tour of the relic chapel and the chapels to the English Martyrs and the Carmelite saints.

NB - any family can visit Aylesford Priory, for example, on a Sunday afternoon. The chapels, the tea room and the excellent bookshop are open to visitors.

DOR for men at Aylesford

After the success of last year’s North Downs walk to Aylesford, this year’s Day of Recollection for men, will be on Saturday 23 February, again at The Friars. (However, there is no walk thus year.)

There will be Mass at 10.30am, and spiritual talks from Father Finigan before and after lunch. The Day will conclude with Benediction. We return to Blackfen at approximately 4.30pm.

The day will give us time for reflection and an opportunity to ask Father Finigan questions. Cost £20 including tea/coffee and lunch. Transport is not provided but there will be an opportunity to car share. Please put your names on the list in the porch or contact Trefor Bevan
