Praying with Teresa of Avila and Mary Ward
Prophetic in different ways, both women have much to teach us today. This weekend will offer an opportunity for reflection on their life and spirituality, and learn from them, as we too grapple to remain faithful to the Gospel in an ever-changing world. It will be a silent retreat with workshops and plenty of quiet time for personal reflection.
The retreat is full board, beginning with the evening meal at 6.00pm on Friday and ending with lunch on Sunday.
Suggested offering: for the retreat: £130 (en-suite room) and £110 (standard room).
It is important to us that nobody is excluded from our programmed events for financial reasons. Please speak to us if you would find difficulty in meeting the suggested offering. If on the other hand, you feel able to make an ex-tra contribution towards a bursary fund, this would enable others to participate in the events on our programme.
