<<First Name>>

The re-imagination of Saint Brigid is again underway as another generation gleans the sparse facts in search of inspiration. As we listen beyond certainties and ideologies, we might discern what attracts us in the character, imagination and resilience that emerge from the stories we know.
  

Surely Brigid would want us to do less looking back for facts and urge us more to look around with imagination, to find delight in how life is to be celebrated just where we are.

What we extol in Brigid says something about her but much about what is of value to us.

Retreats in 2022

Until we learn the final outcome of our planning application, we have arranged individually guided retreats only to the end of May. We are happy to receive bookings for the following:

Eight-day Retreats

Four-day Directed Retreats

A Heart for the  World

If you are planning your own eight-day retreat in this Ignatian anniversary year, you will value the opportunity to be accompanied – virtually – by Brian O’Leary SJ. In a series of eight videos, Brian presents the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus, drawing inspiration from them and offering cues for prayer and  application to life.

Eight videos of approximately 30 minutes each are presented in easy-to-access sections and are accompanied by notes referring the the Constitutions, Spiritual Exercises and scripture.
 

The Pope's Video for January
Pope Francis asks us to remember that as much as 67% of the world’s population lives in countries where the right to religious freedom is denied.
