The Pluscarden community retreat, scheduled for the first week in October, was nearly cancelled this year when our booked preacher had to cancel due to sickness. Happily Fr. Bill Russell WF was in the area, and agreed to stand in as our preacher at a very late stage.

Lenten Retreat 2022: Fr. Abbot's homilies (mp3) and new oblate photos
Dear Oblates,
Here are the Talks that Fr. Abbot gave in this year's Oblate Retreat for Lent (click here) and photos of the new Oblate being congratulated (click here).
These have been held up by falling trees knocking out the livestreaming and then covid "knocking out the monks"!
Blessings and prayers,
Fr. Martin
