Parish Retreat - Payment is now due at the Parish Office
A Parish Retreat has been organised for Saturday, 12 July at The Irenaeus Project in Waterloo. As this date falls shortly after Pentecost our theme will be the Holy Spirit. The retreat will start at 10am, end at 3pm and the cost will be in the region of £30pp to include lunch.
A retreat provides a unique opportunity to deepen your faith and personal well-being. This retreat will enable us as a parish family to step outside of our daily routine and reconnect with God and experience spiritual renewal.
A retreat is a chance to spend dedicated time in prayer, reflection, and connection with God, away from the distractions of daily life. A retreat encourages a sense of community within the parish, providing a chance to connect with fellow parishioners and share in a meaningful spiritual experience.
If you are interested, please sign up at the back of the church.
