Lenten Retreats

One of the main outstanding teaching and reflection opportunities offered to the Parish catering for a wide cross section of the Parish life have been the Lenten Retreats running sometimes just during the Lenten weeks but often in line with the training and teaching opportunities spread over a 8 or 12 week period. Study sessions usually with the use of a DVD from a Powerful and influential Catholic teacher and supplemented by Canon William and facilitated by Martine Mercer and Tom Gately have included the following titles: Robert Baron’s ‘Catholicism’, Mary, Mother of God, The Scriptures, Pivotal Players, Spirituality of the 12-Steps, Ignatian Retreat, Carmelite School of Prayer, Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle, Lent, Holy Week & Easter.
