Quarr Abbey - Community Retreat

For the third year running the Ramsgate Community joined with the Quarr Community to hold their annual Retreat at Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight from 8th to 13th September 2003.

The Retreat was preached by Sister Mary Margaret Funk of the Monastery of Our Lady of of Grace in Indianapolis, U.S.A.. Sister Meg is a specialist in the works of John Cassian, and Executive Director of the Monastic Interreligious Dialogue. Our pictures show her with some of the monks in the monastery garth.
