Bishop Alan Williams is leading a retreat for all diocesan clergy at Ars in France this week as part of the centenary of the diocese. 81 priests and deacons have travelled from their parishes, together with those in training for the priesthood, to spend time together in prayer and contemplation. The location is apt as St John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests, was curé in Ars for many years.
