Vestment making re-launched at Pluscarden

Among his many other tasks in the monastery, Pluscarden's Junior Br. Patrick has been studying the art of sewing. Already he has made or repaired many habits, scapulars, work smocks, cowls and cloaks for the brethren. More recently he has been working to enhance his sewing skills, so that he can repair or make liturgical vestments.

Diocesan Pilgrimage Sunday 26 June 2022

Sunday 26 June saw a happy resumption, after a three year break, of the annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Pluscarden. Perhaps because of this gap imposed by covid restrictions, or maybe in spite of it? the pilgrims came in great numbers. It was lovely to see so many, including lots of children and young people, and good representation from our Polish, Indian and Nigerian Catholic communities. The weather remained kind, so plenty of people were able to picnic in our grounds before the Mass, with the opportunity also for confession, or for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Lady Chapel.
