Fisher House

Fisher House Alumni weekend: we welcome back Alumni on Saturday 22 September at 3.30pm for tea, and on Sunday 23 September for 10.30am Mass followed by drinks.

Time was when vacation meant a musical desert at the chaplaincy. Now we have this - here the musicians rehearse Ave Maris Stella, just before the Sunday Mass.

A week on lake Albano, outside Rome. We stayed at the Summer residence of the English College.

Just added to the Fisher House website: The Fisher Lecture delivered by Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) in 1988 at the chaplaincy. http://fisherhouse.org.uk/past-events/

Dominican novices from California joined our own Blackfriars novices on a tour of Fisher House today.

We now have a Music section on the Fisher House website, put together by our organist, Philip. Visit on http://fisherhouse.org.uk/music-ministry/

Our annual service, using the ancient prayers to bless herbs and plants, which traditionally takes place around the Feast of the Assumption. This year, following Mass on 12 August, we will process to the terrace for the blessing, and then enjoy a barbeque.

The Schola, and the English Choir, June 2018. We have an extraordinary and gifted group of musicians, led by Carlos Rodrigues and Chris Hamilton, respectively.

Pots of Basil decorate the chapel for St Anthony of Padua.

The Mary Garden at Fisher House is looking lovely.

Bank Holiday sunshine on the terrace.
