16th - 23rd May, 2012

Fr. John Fuellenbach, SVD

'The Kingdom Vision of Jesus and our following of Him today'

The most fundamental achievement of Jesus was his God-image which he wanted to kindle in this world like fire; and his desire was to see it burning in every humanbeing (Luke 12:49). The retreat offers a reflection on: Jesus' God-image and His call to follow Him and carry on His mission today.

30th - 6th June, 2012

Fr Anthony Gittins, CSSp

'Mission and Discipleship Today'

An invitation to each and all of the baptised (religious, lay, clergy, women and men) to ponder the invitation to discipleship and live it as the driving force of our daily lifes. We will explore the theological underpinnings of discipleship, and also engage with the New Testament examples of the many calls to discipleship from wich trhere is much for us to learn.

4th - 11th July, 2012

Fr. Daniel O'Leary

'God in the Midst of the Mess and the Mystery'

There is no other place to meet God; no other place to see, touch and experience the God of Jesus, the Human One. God is so intimately present in everything that happens to us, especially in our darkest times, always loving us unconditionally no matter what. When we begin to believe this, our lives are transformed - we become happier and healthier in our spirit, in our heart, in our body.
