The latest copy of Village View, written by Ruth Bull, is available to read in the link below. Sadly circumstances have changed since this article was written, we are no longer open for any events, including Easter, until the end of April and will most probably be closed for some time after this. We will update you once we have made a decision on this.

During this time of uncertainy and isolation we are sharing our time in the Chapel with the wider Othona Community with a video blog. Everyday we will have a short reading and poem taken from Bishop Stephen Cottrell's book 'Striking Out- poems and stories from the Camino'. This is spiritual diary based on his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain. You can join us virtually in the chapel by watching the video clips on facebook each day (https://www.facebook.com/pg/othonabradwell)

With regret we have had to cancel all our residential events up to and including the Painting Event (27-29 April). Early next month we'll review the situation and it's most likely we'll have to extend the closure. During this time of closure we will endeavour to keep in touch with all the members and friends of the Community wherever they are. We will put regular postings on our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/othonabradwell) and you can also sign up for our newsletter. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bradwell once the virus risk has been reduced.

We are greatly saddened to have to tell you that our dear friend Zoe Moran passed away yesterday afternoon. Zoe was a much loved member of the community here and a devoted volunteer. We shall miss her greatly. She was a wonderful friend at all that knew her, hard-working and a committed member of the community both here and in Luton. Amongst the many things that Zoe did in her life, a key part was acting as a foster carer, providing a safe and caring home for many children and she was a devoted foster mother and grandmother. She brought a sense of order and fun to the kitchen here and was a wonderful cook, it was a real pleasure to have her here to help. Zoe had a strong faith and played an important role in the Spiritual life of Othona. We thank God for Zoe and all that... Read More
