St. Cassian’s Prepares for Advent Retreats

The nine volunteers providing this year’s Kintbury Experience spent Monday 17th November getting ready for Advent to descend on the house.

This year, four schools, bringing a combined total of 240 pupils aged between 8 and 12 will come to the house to experience the journey to Bethlehem, Kintbury style.

The volunteers work with the young people on usual themes of welcome, awareness and Good News, but with the advent theme of preparing for Jesus’ arrival.

The house has been decorated from top to bottom, with the Front Hall, Damian Lundy Room, Dining Hall and corridors all holding a proper festive feeling to help get us ready for Christmas.
