Easter Retreat 2011

Almost 300 visitors celebrated Easter at Downside with the Monastic Community.

This year was particularly special as three people were baptised and confirmed into the Roman Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.

Thank you to Simon Westlake (S81) and his wife Cath who arranged all the activities.  This year was particularly well attended and in many cases three Gregorian generations of the same family.
