Hold your own quiet day with these resources

Space to reflect

On 4 October we hosted an Online Quiet Day, to encourage us all to take space to nuture our faith.

On the Feast of St Francis of Assisi we took the opportunity to learn about the life and character of this engaging saint. Inspired by Francis’ commitment to God’s creation, we reflected together on our vocation in a world facing climate crisis.

If you missed the day, the live-streamed reflections and services are available from this page for you to hold your own quiet day, wherever you are.
