Retreats for parents
Opus Dei runs retreats for men and retreats for women in Lismullin Conference Centre, located near Tara hill in the heart of Co. Meath. Lismullin is large, modern and pleasant, and has a tasteful atmosphere conducive to personal reflection and study.
Why do a retreat?
In a time when the relevance of faith and spiritual life is often questioned and belittled, Christians need courage and conviction to live their faith in their places of work or study, in their family, and in their social circles.
A retreat at Lismullin will give depth to your convictions and courage to respond to Christ's call to each Christian to be an active disciple of his in the world today.
During a retreat one has the opportunity to:
time for personal pray and reflection
avail of the sacraments
attend talks on virtues and aspects of living ones faith in one's family and workplace
devotions (Stations of the Cross, the rosary)
"Days on retreat: recollection in order to know God, to know yourself and thus to make progress. A necessary time for discovering where and how you should change your life."
St Josemaría Escrivá
Every year a list of dates of the scheduled retreats is available: see current list.
