January Saturday Quiet Day

A day to reflect with Catherine Wright, our new chaplain, on using some of the familiar parables of Jesus in prayer.

Catherine is a recent addition to our team, bringing a wealth of experience with her. She was previously the Director of Ministerial Formation at Ridley Hall and taught Christian History and Spirituality in the Cambridge Federation. Before going to Ridley Hall in 2014, Catherine completed twelve years in the Diocese of Bath and Wells as a Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Dean of Women Clergy. At the heart of all her work has been the desire to enable every disciple of Christ to reach her or his full potential, through opportunities to deepen spiritual life, knowledge of the Christian faith and engagement in worship, work, community and mission. Catherine is married to Geoff Boucher, who is also ordained. They enjoy long-distance walking, particularly the South West Coastal Path and the Derbyshire Peak District.

Catherine will be joining the praying and working community here at Launde Abbey with a working pattern of two days a week for which she will be based onsite at the Abbey. Revd Alison Myers, Warden, said: “Catherine brings with her considerable skills and experience in spiritual direction, vocational discernment, and in enabling spiritual formation. We welcome her joining us in our daily rhythm of prayer and are excited about her contribution to the development of the ministry based at Launde Abbey.”
