Deborah Hollamby gave a very positive account of her experience of our online retreats on the 3 April edition of BBC Radio 2's 'Good Morning, Sunday'.

BBC content still online— video, written summary, and 'Midweek' (Libby Purves): all focusing on the online retreat work of the community.

In the U.S.A. the community has received some encouraging notices from the legendary Brother Richard, see here (April 2011), and Father Zuhlsdorf, see here. The community's 'digital daily' won praise from The Anchoress, a.k.a. Elizabeth Scalia, here. But we still remember with gratitude the post by Matthew Warner back in 2010 which gave us the strapline for our web site, here.

We DON'T keep a media watch ourselves, so if you discover an article or mention of the community anywhere, we'd be grateful to be told. Please email us.
