A Day exploring Religious Life for Young Adults
Saturday 28th September
The Poor Clares Convent, Crossbush, Arundel
“By the profession of the evangelical counsels the characteristic features of Jesus — the chaste, poor and obedient one — are made constantly “visible” in the midst of the world” Blessed John Paul II
What?
The day will include talks, Q&A, prayer, Mass, Adoration, friendship, with speakers from various religious communities and traditions sharing about their life. In particular, the talks will focus on the Evangelical Counsels which form the traditional Religious Vows: Poverty, Chastity and Obedience, as well as exploring some aspects of discernment and forms of religious life today.
