A Quiet Day: Exploring the Rule of Life of St. Benedict With Sister Connie

The Church of St Mary Magdalene

Saturday, May 13

9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

Register HERE

Join us for a day of worship, reflection, and fellowship. With Sister Constance Joanna (please call her Connie) as our guide, we will explore how the Rule of Life can be meaningful to Christians today.  Written in the 6th century, Benedict’s Rule of Life has played a vital role in the long history of Christianity.  One thousand years later, in the 16th century, it shaped the first Book of Common Prayer when the Church of England separated from Rome.  Since then, it continued to inform the spirituality of the Anglican tradition.  Today, it remains a source of wisdom and guidance for a church that finds itself in an increasingly secular world. 

We invite you to explore with us how Benedict’s Rule can strengthen community life, help us envision a strong future, and inspire our parish to share its worship with the wider community around us. 

We start with coffee and baked treats at 9:30, followed by Mass at 10 AM.  We invite you to bring your own lunch, with coffee, tea, and other beverages being available through the day. 

We welcome your participation. Feel free to invite a friend!

There is no fee for this event.
