This retreat is from the evening of Wednesday 9th through until the afternoon of Friday 11th October.

 

We are aware that the retreat takes place within the school week, however we found that man of  our Diocesan secondary schools were supportive of this last year, they saw the importance of giving students much needed time and space to reflect, pray and discern their next steps. We have also tried to find a time where we can avoid exams, and that is why it is also taking place in early October.
