UPCOMING RETREATS: Praying with St Dominic: November 1st-3rd. This retreat explores the life and faith of St Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), whose objective was to continue safeguarding the Catholic faith.

Be Still and Know that I am God: November 21st – 24th.
Join Fr Roger Dawson, SJ, for this retreat exploring the human condition with practices common to mindfulness and to Christian contemplative prayer.
