The Christian Heritage Centre’s proposed new study and retreat building was blessed on Monday ahead of work commencing this week.
Stonyhurst’s Theodore House, which is presently an old mill building in a state of disrepair, is due to be renovated and turned into a Study, Retreat and Leadership Centre, providing accommodation for visitors and people conducting academic scholarship.
A procession from the statue of Our Lady at the entrance of the Stonyhurst estate to the site on the new centre began at 7am on the feast of St Joseph the Worker, after which a pupil read a short biography of St Theodore, after whom the building has been named.
