The Ratcliffian Association Retreat
Friday 5th - Sunday 7th April 2013
‘A Year of Faith’, led by Fr Anthony Meredith IC (57)
The advance party of sterling Old Ratcliffians felt much
at home with the warm welcome given by Fr Anthony
Meredith (57); they being a happy mix of Royal and other
engineers, a farmer, a barrister and an IT specialist. We
soon discovered a hidden dining room where we enjoyed
our dinner together. A lively repartée ensued with hearts
and minds as we dined and chatted together till bedtime.
At 11am, a combined party of Ratcliffians and Ascribed
Rosminian Members, together with Fr Anthony Meredith,
convened in the Old Library. Jackie Bennett introduced our
Retreat Father, saying that he had travelled from Rome and
that he was currently the Assistant Vicar General, to which,
with sprightly good humour, he rose and exclaimed: “I AM
the Vicar General!” This was said with a twinkle in his eye,
as though he felt himself to be the least likely candidate
for Vicar General. All joy broke out; we were all aboard -
our voyage began! We all then introduced ourselves as we
steered into the ‘Year of Faith’. Mike Reynolds (64), Paul Rudd (60) & Michael Heath (56)
