The confirmation retreat at West Malling Abbey was a special day.

The girls had a number of sessions with Father Kenny on the Church as the Body of Christ. They learnt about Holy Communion and also had a session with the Benedictine sisters. Some of them even discovered what the nuns wore for bed! The girls also attended a service in their chapel. They had some space in the beautiful garden to reflect on what mattered to them and to enjoy the silence and the sunshine. All of us came away feeling blessed by visiting such a tranquil place.
