Our popular residential retreats, running for a number of years, are for anyone who is curious and searching for a way to explore and deepen their experience of God in a Christian context.
On crossing over to this ancient island of prayer, Lough Derg offers a unique opportunity to step back from a busy life, into prayer and reflection, and towards a deeper relationship with God. Each retreat is structured around daily prayer, input from renowned facilitators, and personal time. Over the course of four days, the retreats provide a comfortable, full-board stay on the island. Without fasting or walking barefoot, retreatants have the opportunity to join pilgrims making the traditional Three Day Lough Derg pilgrimage for Mass and Night Prayer. (Residential Retreats begin early afternoon on the first day and finish before noon on the final day) |

"Hope in the Wilderness"
In this Jubilee Year of Hope we have been asked to pray for hope, find hope and have hope despite the apparent hopelessness that can seem to be overwhelming in this world we live in. Over the days of this retreat we will explore, reflect and pray for hope through the use of painted images and music. The central theme of hope will be focussed on Jesus - the source of all hope and joy. Jesus has asked us to believe, to have faith and to be joyful in hope. In an atmosphere of quietness and prayer we will reflect on the extraordinarily beautiful reality of the hope that Jesus has gifted to us. Come and join us in this wonderful opportunity to re-centre ourselves and re-discover the hope that Jesus has gifted to us.
