Once again the Abbey hosted a special weekend for Oblates, from Friday 11th to Monday 14th August. Also once again Bishop Richard Moth, who is a Pluscarden Oblate, gave a series of talks for those attending. Bishop Richard has been coming to Pluscarden very regularly and faithfully since he was a teenage seminarian. His talks for this occasion were recorded for the benefit of those oblates wishing but unable to attend. Bishop Richard presided and preached at our conventual Mass on the Sunday. The following day, at the conclusion of the retreat, the oblates present renewed their oblate commitment.
