St. Edmund’s Retreat leans heavily on the talent and hard work of our volunteers. At our annual appreciation Volunteer Tea, the St. Richard of Chichester Award is presented to a volunteer for an outstanding contribution during the prior year. Become a volunteer, and enjoy getting to work with many wonderful new friends, in the tradition of St. Richard, who was St. Edmund's lifelong companion and secretary.
