<<First Name>> 

It seems quieter since the Pope left Ireland; attention has returned to the ordinary concerns of everyday life and we may wonder what we are left with. Times of reflection, prayer and retreat are invitations to us to pay attention, to notice and to receive the meaning of what has commanded our focus and, before it recedes, recognise how God wants to bless us.  

You may be able to take some time in Manresa in the coming months – we are happy to outline here some of what may be of interest to you.

Look back, look in, look forward

An Oasis Day in Autumn
Plan now to take some time out during the autumn by booking for an Oasis Day. These days offer some time of quiet and space. A waiting list is in place for the fully-booked October day, but you are welcome to book November and December now.
The days begin with registration at 9:30 am and conclude by 6:00 pm. They take place in an atmosphere of quiet where you can decide which of the elements on offer are most helpful to you, choosing from reflections, guided prayer and an opportunity to meet with a spiritual director. Mass is celebrated as part of the day.
