Men's Weekend Retreat
Postponed until public gatherings are permitted
Postponed until public gatherings are permitted
A weekend retreat for men of all ages who desire to draw closer to God
Lift up your heads; liberation is at hand (Luke 21:28)
The Lord invites us to fix our eyes on him. Our tendency is to self-reliance in the face of the everyday circumstances of life. We become self focused! What is your mind fixed on? Where is your heart leaning? On what foundation are you building?
As we explore these themes we remind ourselves that our peace and purpose is in the Lord. During this gathering we will stand together and fix our gaze on Jesus, the one who liberates us from our self-preoccupations and blesses us with peace.
‘Stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.’ Luke 21:28
‘You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you. Because he trusts in you.’ Isaiah 26:3

Recognising that a man's spirituality can often flourish best in the company of other men, this weekend provides an opportunity for men to share their faith and review what matters most in their lives. The dynamic of the retreat also provides time to enjoy the company of other men who are also in search of a deeper relationship with Christ and with those around them.
The weekend is a response to a great need in the hearts and lives of men within the Church. Its purpose is to help each man in his unique journey to become the person God created him to be.
As part of the programme, Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated. Facilitators include Michael Coughlan, Peter Moran and Edwin Fawcett, all of whom have years of experience of walking with the Lord and accompanying men in their journey of faith.
