The Sanctuary of St Patrick – Lough Derg – has been welcoming pilgrims for over a thousand years. In the past 150 alone over 2 million people have spent time in prayer and contemplation on this Holy Island.
Lough Derg is inviting you to take a detour from your daily routine to discover the difference a day on the sacred Island can make. The One Day Retreat offers a shorter retreat experience where shoes remain on and lunch is served.

One Day Retreats enable a much wider audience to enjoy the sanctity of this island made holy through the centuries of Pilgrim prayer.

One Day Retreats typically run during the month of May, late August and early September – usually on Saturday’s & Sunday’s and on a number of weekdays.
