Youth
There is a programme of retreats for teenagers (11+) organised by the Lay Community of Saint Benedict youth worker. They currently take place at Worth Abbey (near Crawley) and Douai Abbey (near Reading). The retreats are a great opportunity for young people to get together and share their faith journey with their peers. Each weekend has a balance of prayer, input, sport, creative activities and free time.
There are also separate retreats for those aged 16-20.
Please contact the Administrator for more information on all retreats.
Summer Activity Week
There is an activity week held at Worth Abbey in August each year, leading up to the LCSB AGM. This is open to all teenagers, and there are separate 16-20s sessions which overlap with the Young Adult programme held at the same time.
Trips to Taize and Brightlights
If you are 16+ you can join the annual pilgrimage to Taize in France, and also join other members of the community on trips to Christian festivals such as Brightlights (near St Albans).
