Monastery Trip

Monastery Trip

  • Archive, news

This academic year, a number of students visited the Monastery Of Our Lady Of Hyning in Carnforth. They spent the day in reflection and took part in an icon making workshop led by Sister Stella. The students were taught a brief history of icons and then were guided in creating their own. They also got the opportunity to attend the midday prayer service to have a look into the daily routine the sisters have. The students all enjoyed the experience and were grateful to have a nice day being creative.
