Members of the Catholic Union are invited to the Catholic Union’s annual Summer Gathering at Buckfast Abbey on Saturday 11 July.
The day will include an introduction given by Rt Rev Nicholas Hudson, Bishop of Plymouth and Ecclesiastical Adviser to the Catholic Union, and Mass in the Abbey. We are also very fortunate to have the opportunity of a talk by Abbot David Charlesworth OSB and we will hear from a Catholic member of the House of Lords.
The Summer Gathering is an opportunity for members and their guests to come together in convivial surroundings at a place of special interest and devotion. The day will close at 4.00pm when we will be able to enjoy the ever popular Fauré Requiem in the Abbey sung by the Choristers.
Once again, we have managed to keep the price low at £30 per person and are immensely grateful for the generous sponsorship by one of our Benefactors. This includes lunch and refreshments. St Thomas More Circle Associates, Supporters, Benefactors and Patrons are entitled to one complimentary ticket, but are still required to register.
