I've not had time to blog about the August events I've been involved, but here are a few photos of the first of these: the St Catherine's Trust Summer School, which took place Sunday to Saturday, 4-10 August, in St Cassian's Retreat Centre, Kintbury, for children aged 11-17. I founded the St Catherine's Trust as a vehicle for these events back in 2005, and we've done them ever since -- though we had to cancel two during Covid.

| Classroom teaching |
We had 64 children and nine staff this year. Numbers have been gradually increasing in recent years, and we're at the limit of what the venue can house. This year we didn't have room for all the children who wanted to come.

| We had an outing to Oxford, and Mass in Oratory. |
The Summer Schools are generously supported by the Latin Mass Society, and by the parents: they make donations, but we don't charge a fee. If you'd like to make a donation to support the Trust, you can send money by PayPal to info@stcatherinestrust.org. or use the donate button the website. It is a registered charity, no. 1110417.

| Art projects: illuminated letters. |
The SCT Summer School is unlike other summer 'camps' because we make a serious effort to teach the children a range of subjects. Obviously it is more like an introduction to subjects, since we only have a week, but they do get hear a bit about history, art, philosophy, Latin, and Greek; they sing, many of them take part in a play, some choose to do art or embroidery or some sport. It all seems to be appreciated -- at any rate, they make friends and they want to come back!
Oh and not to be forgotten, we have a Sung Mass every day, sung Compline, and the Rosary.
