One of you readers sent this and, especially for my friends across the Pond, I share it here:
Pluscarden Abbey in Moray in NE Scotland is holding a monastic experience weekend for Catholic men aged between 18-35 in November. Pluscarden is a haven of orthodoxy and its previous Abbot is now Bishop of Aberdeen. The Abbey celebrates mass in the ordinary form but does so solely in Latin and all the offices are in Latin.
Another lovely spot in Scotland. But why stop at 35? I see this so often–things like vocation discernment weekends that only want people under 30…. Several of the best priests I know realized their vocations in their later thirties.
