Introduction
After requests to lighten the tone of the Film Club, this month we are showing a timeless comedy, with a whimsical Irish flavour, namely ‘Waking Ned' – how far would you go to win a fortune?’ Starring Irish perennials Ian Bannen, David Kelly and Fionnula Flanagan, this 1998 film also features an early performance by James Nesbitt. When someone in a remote and tiny Irish village wins the lottery but then dies of shock, the remaining villagers face the challenge of waking Ned to bring the money home. Huge fun!

During this weekend Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality.
This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
