On 30th September we had a Service of Blessing for White Lodge, which is now available for possible bookings for small groups from January 2017.  Those familiar with the Convent, will know that the garden of White Lodge is situated near the end of our main drive.

One of our priests – Sister Phoebe, led us through the Service of Blessing as we walked from room to room.  Everywhere, including the stairs, bathrooms and kitchen, was blessed with prayer, as well as holy water administered by Sister Phoebe with a sprig of rosemary from the garden.
