Bishops' Spring 2024 Plenary and Retreat at Buckfast Abbey

Apr 12th, 2024

Buckfast Abbey

The Catholic Bishops' of England and Wales are meeting at Buckfast Abbey in the Diocese of Plymouth for their spring meeting (12-19 April 2024). The majority of this time will be spent together in prayerful retreat - the first time in five years the Bishops have had this opportunity.

They will be guided in their retreat by Bishop Erik Varden, who is a Norwegian Trappist monk and Bishop of Trondheim.

Bishop Varden served as Abbot of Mount Saint Bernard's Abbey in Leicestershire from April 2015 to September 2019.

The plenary sessions are restricted to the afternoon of Friday 12 and Saturday 13 April. Resolutions and outcomes will be released on the Bishops' return - in the week commencing 22 April.
