January Home Retreats Programme

 

'The Gate of the Year' by Fr Kevin 

Saturday 1st January 11am

As we step into a New Year we are invited to put our hand into that of Another, to allow a power greater than ourselves to be at work in our lives, to let ourselves be led to places we could never have reached on our own. It is a momentous decision to walk with this Other, to really share our life – one we discover brings immense blessings.
