Benedictine Oblates

The Oblate Group of St Benedict's, Arcadia meet monthly to share the scriptures and the Rule of Benedict.  The meeting begins with a shared lectio of the Sunday Gospel.  The oblates joins the monastic community for midday prayer and share lunch together before studying how the Rule of Benedict may offer support and guidance for their lives.  In this way the group is supported in their living  and challenge the monks to share their monastic heritage. 

Further information can be obtained from Father David Orr.

The group gathers at the Monastery on the first Sunday of the month, Noon - 3pm.
