Once again the Abbey hosted a special weekend for Oblates, from Friday 11th to Monday 14th August. Also once again Bishop Richard Moth, who is a Pluscarden Oblate, gave a series of talks for those attending. Bishop Richard has been coming to Pluscarden very regularly and faithfully since he was a teenage seminarian.

Lenten Retreat 2022: Fr. Abbot's homilies (mp3) and new oblate photos
Dear Oblates,
Here are the Talks that Fr. Abbot gave in this year's Oblate Retreat for Lent (click here) and photos of the new Oblate being congratulated (click here).
These have been held up by falling trees knocking out the livestreaming and then covid "knocking out the monks"!
Blessings and prayers,
Fr. Martin
