Mary MacKillop Spirituality Centre, Central Coast

Formerly known as St Joseph’s Spirituality and Education Centre in Kincumber, the spacious grounds and natural bushland setting create an atmosphere of tranquillity and peace that enhance the reflective nature of the Centre. Mary and the Sisters of Saint Joseph first established the site as a home for boys in 1887 and Mary would often return to visit in her lifetime. The Centre now offers opportunities for everyone to have their own spiritual encounters, in a quiet, beautiful, historic setting.

The spirit of Mary MacKillop has special significance to the Centre and the whole peninsula, which was designated Mary MacKillop Peninsula in 1996 by Council.

We offer venues and facilities for retreats, conferences, group seminars, planning, workshops, special focus groups, school staff meetings, board meetings and private prayer days. Our Centre is a welcoming place, respecting cultural and religious differences, open to people of all faiths.
