My Story – Sasha
Hello, my Name is Sasha and I am from Austria. I was in the Cenacolo Community for a couple of years and during my time I stay a bit more than a year at Dodding.

We had family fallouts and disagreements and I cannot begin to tell you the horror of those years. Continue reading

Christmas Day at St Clare’s
It has become a bit of a tradition that, on Christmas Day, the lads of the Community at Dodding Green have lunch with Fr Chris, the Priest Visitor to the House. The lads arrived at St Clare’s Presbytery late morning and spent some time in the Parish Hall with Ping Pong, Skittles and a Laurel & Hardy DVD. Then into the Presbytery to prepare for lunch.
