One Day Retreats offer a flexible programme of prayer and reflection

Prayer and contemplative reflection were central to the life of Saint Patrick. It was his trust in the Lord, guided by prayer that allowed him to come to understand the presence of the Lord in his life.

“I bind to myself this day the power of God to guide me.”
