Retreats
“Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.”
REFRESH YOUR SPIRIT
Retreats are for everybody – for ordinary people at any time in our lives, giving us the chance to step aside from life, to rest and become refreshed. We encourage all parishioners to make a personal retreat each year.
