Deposits are not required but pre-booking is essential.
Individual and group bookings
These Quiet Fridays are exclusively for individuals to have a time of quiet and reflection. We continue to welcome men and women of all Christian denominations and none. Parishes or organisations wishing to bring a group of people will be asked to arrange their own separate day or attend other day retreats – please contact the bookings secretary.
Maintaining a prayerful atmosphere
Most visitors value the opportunity of silent prayer and reflection on these days, so we
try to ensure that the days follow a pattern that fosters a prayerful environment. We
ask all to respect the silence and stillness of the others.

Saturdays:

Follow-on Saturdays for Personal & Spiritual Growth (PSG) and Time to Listen & Space to Grow:
Mary Watson and Jo Eaton
2012 June 2nd
2012 October 6th

These individual Saturdays are for those who have completed the PSG Course or the Time to Listen & Space to Grow Weekend and are familiar with the process. We will be deepening some themes and introducing new ones using the same familiar format. Share teas and coffees (provided). Please bring your own packed lunch. Each Saturday will stand alone but could be used with or without the PSG Follow-on weekend as a series.
These take place in the Day Centre of Compass House starting at 10:00 (arrivals from 09:30 or after 09:00 Mass in the church), joining the monastic Midday Prayer at 13:00 and ending promptly at 16:00.
Each Saturday will stand alone but could be used with or without the PSG Follow–on weekend as a series.
Please note: We would encourage anyone who is not familiar with the process used in the PSG Course or the Time & Space Weekend to come to the Time to Listen, Space to Grow Weekend or a Personal & Spiritual Growth Course Taster Evening.

Per person: £38 payable in advance please.

Other day events may be arranged and will be published here. If you are interested in holding your own group retreat here using our facilities, you need to apply (to the Bookings Secretary) at least three months ahead of your booking date.
