The Grand Priory’s February Day of Recollection will take place on Saturday 22 February at our Chapter Room and Library at 23 Golden Square. Days of Recollection are miniature retreats for Members of the Order and those who wish to strengthen their spiritual life. Over the course of the day, we sing the Divine Office together, attend Holy Mass, listen to two spiritual conferences, and adore the Blessed Sacrament.

On 25 January, the Day of Recollection will be led by Mgr Philip Whitmore, rector of St James’s Spanish Place and quondam rector of the Venerable English College, Rome.
