Advent Retreat 2011:

47 people gathered over the first weekend of December at Minsteracres Passionist Monastery Northumberland for the annual Advent Retreat led by Pat Kennedy. “Heralds of the Gospel” reflected on Mary and the poverty within ourselves; seeking to allow God to find space in us to enable us too to give birth to Christ this Christmas.

This year the snow managed to stay away mostly, although on the Saturday morning there was a heavy fall of snow which thankfully melted by lunchtime. The age range was broad and the experience of a renewal weekend was mixed, but the feedback was very good:

• “I found this a very uplifting experience, the talks were inspirational; I will be back next year, please God”
• “I have been inspired and excited by the input, and God has awakened in me this weekend. Thank you.”
• “This has been a great opportunity to meet with like minded people, meet new people and take time out for self and to thank and praise God. See you next year."

Day of Renewal 2011: November 26th
