New team at St Cassians

Bishop Kieran with new team

Bishop Kieran Conry celebrated a special Commissioning Mass at St Cassian’s, the De La Salle Brothers retreat centre at Kintbury, near Newbury in Wiltshire, for the 2011-2012 volunteer Youth Team.

The centre, run by the De la Salle Brothers, runs retreats for school groups, young adults and families. The ‘Kintbury Experience’ provides the opportunity for each person to develop spiritually, morally and socially to enable them to discover more about themselves, their community, and the world around them.

The new team consists of: Jethro Bennett (Devizes) Nicky Boughey (Wirral) Ben Blanche (Bristol) Rosie Holley (London) Ben Hudson (Trowbridge) Sophie Hurst (Manchester) Patrick McCrann (Kent) Sam McLaughlin (London) Stephanie O’Connor (Plymouth). Also commissioned were the new Director of St Cassian’s, Emma Biggins and Senior Team members Helen Currie and Liz Richardson.

Brother Aidan Kilty, the Provincial of the Brothers said “The Commissioning was an uplifting experience for all of the participants and was a great cause for celebration. We are delighted to welcome Emma Biggins as Director at St Cassian’s”.
