Retreat for Healthcare Workers at Worth Abbey
31st May - 2nd June
Friday May 31st – Sunday June 2nd 2024
Dear CMA member,
You are warmly invited to attend a retreat for healthcare workers at Worth Abbey in Sussex. The Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks in a beautiful and peaceful setting. This will be a great opportunity to take a break from the pressures of healthcare work and reflect on the vocation to the caring professions.
Accommodation will be in ensuite rooms with all meals provided.
The retreat will be led by our Chaplain, Canon John O’Leary who is also rector of Allen Hall seminary in London along with Fr Michael Jarmulowicz who is currently a parish priest in London but also a consultant histopathologist and former CMA president. The themes of preaching will reflect the feasts and seasons coinciding with the retreat:
Friday May 31st – Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“The significance of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary for being a missionary disciple today.”
Saturday June 1st – First Day of the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
“Coronary Care: Devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus”
Sunday June 2nd – Solemnity of Corpus Christi
“The Healing Power of the Eucharist”
In addition to the programme of preaching, there will be Holy Mass daily, Holy Rosary and plenty of free time for private prayer and relaxation in the Abbey grounds. Canon John and Fr Michael will also be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and personal spiritual direction. There will also be the opportunity to join timetabled prayer with the monks.

God bless,
Dr Mike Delany
President CMA UK
