The monks of Pluscarden Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in northern Scotland, are offering an exceptional opportunity to experience at first-hand what monastic life is about. It takes place during the weekend of Friday, August 2nd to Monday, August 5th. Pluscarden Abbey is featured as by this site each week in the Vocations column, bottom left.
There will be no charge. The invitation is extended to single young men, Catholics who practice their faith, aged 18 - 35 years. Anyone interested is invited to contact Fr Benedict Hardy OSB by email, novicemaster@pluscardenabbey.org. You can find out more about the abbey and the event itself at www.pluscardenabbey.org.
This San Damiano crucifix is double sided, so that both congregation and monks in choir can see the same image. It is 6 ft long and was painted by yours truly!
