Adult Faith Formation

Spiritual Enrichment Programs (SEP)

This past fall and winter, the abbey offered a variety of adult faith formation opportunities.  These include talks & discussions, classes, and Lenten reflections as well as information on retreats and the Listening to Other Voices lecture series.

The 2011-12 Spiritual Enrichment Program brochure is available here.

Lectures/Talks/Discussions
This fall we have a packed schedule of interesting talks, most of them with the option for two different days/times - one morning, the other in the evening. For a schedule of talks for the 2011-12 season, please click here. Suggested donation for these is $20 per talk.

Scripture Classes
For several years now, Glastonbury Abbey has offered weekly scripture classes. Taught by Fr. Andrew Mark Quillen, OSB, these have been extremely popular and tend to fill up quickly. For a schedule of classes planned for the 2011-12 season, please click here.
