<<First Name>>
Joseph quietly smiles as he reminds us that even the best plans sometimes have to yield to circumstances. We remind ourselves that God considers our intentions and rejoices in our best desires. While we are disappointed not to welcome those who might have come to us for our New Year retreats, we try to hold a focus on what God asks of us, on what new light is offered.
At a time when we may easily feel disheartened or disappointed, let  take heart from how Mary and Joseph looked on the draughty manger an ask that, by keeping your hearts open, we may bless and be blessed.

Retreats in 2022

The following retreats are planned for 2022. Retreats for recent months have run with limited numbers which have required ongoing correspondence with those on waiting lists. We are grateful to all for their patience and look forward to being able to welcome people back in greater numbers. We are happy to receive bookings for the following dates:

Eight-day Retreats

Four-day Directed Retreats

We hope to be able to mark the 500th anniversary of Ignatius' conversion by resuming the full Spiritual Exercises in 2022. The Exercises emerged from the prayer, thought and experience of Ignatius following his recuperation in Loyola and journey to Manresa.
