The focus will be around Baptism in the Holy Spirit and what it means for us Christians to be baptised in the Holy Spirit. We will also look at some of the Gifts and Charisms of the Holy Spirit including the Gift of Tongues and how we might be called to exercise them, both for our personal growth and for others in the building up God’s kingdom.

Silent Retreat

40-hours of Adoration, Silence and Prayer

THEME:

“Be Still My Soul”

Guest speaker: Grace Nowakowska

“In God alone is my soul at rest” (Psalm 62:1)

We tend to live hectic lives in a busy and noisy society. Constantly on the move: places to be, tasks to be completed. And onto the next thing and the next and the one after. And, our spiritual lives can mirror that rush. Suddenly, we forget the art of standing still; of ‘being’ of resting.

The Psalmist reminds us that, ‘In God alone is my soul at rest’. God is at work even when we are at rest. And when we rest [in Him], we give Him the space to speak, to heal, to transform, to set free. In Him, we find renewed hope, vision and strength.

We pray that through this retreat, we may learn the art of resting’ in God in the midst of everything else.

UPCOMING: 

18th – 20th October 2024

 

Men's Weekend

‘A Man for this Season’

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”
(Proverbs 27:17)

A man’s spirituality often flourishes best in the company of other men. This is a time of great challenge for Christian men as Msgr James Shea says “we are living in the first post-Christian civilisation in all history”.

The Men’s Weekend is a response to a great need in the hearts and lives of men, and a great need in the life of the Catholic Church. It is an opportunity for men to:

  • share their faith
  • review what matters most in their lives
  • enjoy the company of other men
  • search for a deeper relationship with Christ and with each other

This weekend’s purpose is to help each man in his unique journey to become the man God created him to be.

“God is glorified when men are fully alive”
(St Iranaeus)>

The Men’s Weekend includes: talks, sharing, ministry and fellowship in the relaxed and prayerful setting of Sion Community Training Centre, Brentwood, Essex. Both the Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated.

“It’s time to break up our fallow ground and to go seeking the Lord.”
(Hosea 10:12)

UPCOMING: 

Friday 8th – Sunday 10th November 2024
