The 'Lent Oasis' has been a feature of Beda hospitality for many years. This year it was the turn of the staff and students from Venerable English College to visit us for Mass and lunch. The tradition goes back to the time twenty years ago when the English College had to vacate their premises for several months and some stayed at the Beda for that time. Almost 75 people sat down at lunch today for a festive mid-Lent Sunday, truly expressing our mutual friendship and shared purpose.
