Earlier today staff and students marked Armistice Day by pausing for a short act of remembrance at 11, praying for the peace of the world and for the repose of the souls of all those of this and every nation killed in armed conflict.

Every week, the brethren of the Community have a gardening afternoon, and students and others are welcome to join. Here’s a mixture of ordinands and monks enjoying the fresh air and honest toil that help keep our grounds beautiful.

On Thursday afternoons instead of evening prayer with the Brethren of CR, there is a student led service, which can take any form they choose. Tonight we had a beautiful time of prayer after the customs of Taizé.

Happy feast of Simon and Jude! This is the college’s Foundation Day, so a special occasion for us. We like to think that the most obscure of the apostles are perfect patrons for a college that’s always focussed on producing priests who serve parish and people.

We are sad to learn of the death of Reverend Canon Stephen Ferns, former Senior Chaplain to the Bishop of Chichester and Canon Treasurer of Chichester Cathedral.
In 2023, Fr Stephen led the College Retreat and gave the 2024 Holy Week Lectures at Mirfield, which will be long remembered.

Earlier today some members of the college joined CR for their Rogation Procession, with a litany and blessing of the orchard and the allotments. It’s been raining steadily ever since, but given the recent weather that’s something to give thanks for!
