At the heart of our ministry is not a program, a process or a set of resources — it is a relationship with Jesus Christ.

We invite all RCIA and Sacramental Teams to join us for the retreat day ‘I call you friends’ (John 15:15); a time to pause, step away from the busyness of ministry and return to the source of all that we do: our friendship with Christ.

Throughout the day, we will reflect, pray and share together as we explore what it means to remain in Christ and allow His love to pour through us to those we serve. We will consider how our own encounter with Jesus shapes the way we welcome, accompany, listen to and journey with those preparing to enter the Church or receive the sacraments.

This is an invitation to come away, be renewed and reconnect with the One who has called us friends, so that filled by His love, we can become a more faithful witness and presence of Christ to others.

Come and be renewed in friendship with Christ, the source of our ministry and the heart of our missio
