Hilfield News Update

The camping season at Hilfield is now over, for both families and youth, and the marquee is stored away till next year. The picture shows community members and guests unlacing the marquee canvas.

The Hilfield Stigmata festival was on the 14th Sept. Over 150 visitors came, more than in recent years; the weather for the outside Eucharist was splendid. After months of work the Canticle Garden, outside the refurbished Recreation Room, was opened. It features St Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures with carefully picked plants to illustrate the various aspects of the Canticle such as Brother Sun and objects such as a fountain to illustrate Sister Water.The picture shows Chantal speaking, just before Bp Graham blesses the garden.
