On Wednesday 16th July 2025, twenty-four people from Liskeard, Sclerder Abbey and Saltash, visited Buckfast Abbey for our parish picnic / teddy bear’s picnic – Pilgrim Bear Francis came along also! We all arrived in time to attend Mass and look around the Abbey before adjourning to the picnic benches outside to have our picnic and a walk around the beautiful gardens. At 2pm we gathered around, the beautiful statue of Smiling Mary looking down at the baby Jesus in her arms, to sing and pray. We started with a prayer for peace across the world and sang “Make me a channel of thy peace” and said a decade of the rosary: The Crucifixion: we finished by singing “As I kneel before thee” and a final prayer. Though the clouds were grey and there was spots of muzzling rain, the weather on the whole was kind to us.
