About Us
Directors Message



We hear in the opening words of John’s Gospel, “What has come into being in him (Christ) was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” Jn 1:4-5

As we prepare for another year of retreat and renewal ministry, we place ourselves “in Christ our light”. We invite you to come and experience a time away from the busy-ness and sometimes darkness of our worlds, into a time for retreat and renewal into deeper faith, peace, hope and love.

Needing quiet time with Christ? You might want to join noted author and presenter Margaret Silf, who will offer her gentle guidance for our growth in relationship with Christ, or you might want to plan to come for retreat with Sr Barbara Fiand, SNDdeN for “Embracing Jesus as the Christ of Our Today & Our Tomorrow”. For summer options consider joining Bishop Gerald Wiesner, OMI in his retreat “Responding to Jesus’ Questions and Requests”. Popular spiritual author, Kathleen Norris, offers another option as she names for us the struggles of our times and the ordinary path of staying with Christ to overcome them. Needing a time to stretch your horizons? Sr Judy Schactel, SMS is offering several opportunities to grow in awareness of our living universe and how we might create a future together that is both earth and human friendly. Wanting to expand your creativity with a spiritual focus? We have various art workshops for your choosing. There is much more within these pages. We hope you will take a moment, sit in your comfortable chair and find the time away you need and deserve.

Whatever your need, we are here to serve you, to create space for your Christ encounter, and then, standing back in the wings, to joyfully witness your light aflame.

Looking forward to seeing you here!
