Take some time out of your busy life, slow down, and pause, to discern God’s invitation to you in the still quiet moments of a silent retreat.
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a silent retreat for the first time or attend for a short renewal.
Your retreat includes private accommodation, all meals, an opening and closing session, a spiritual accompaniment session, and prayer material at our Pymble retreat centre Peter Canisius House located on five acres of beautiful gardens and bushland in Pymble on Sydney’s North Shore. An oasis for you in the midst of a bustling city.
All are welcome, no retreat experience is necessary, come as you are.
We look forward to welcoming you.
