Residential Retreats

We concluded residential retreats at the end of May 2022 in preparation for the building and renovation work. We look forward to reopening in Autumn 2023. In the meantime, we are pleased to offer residential retreats in other retreat houses in Ireland, and also online retreats using Zoom. To keep up to date with news from Manresa and receive details of upcoming events, please sign up for our newsletter. Our selection of Retreats @home offers the opportunity to begin a retreat at a time that suits you.

Residential retreat types:

Directed

A directed retreat is a retreat in which time is spent largely in individual prayer and reflection with the regular but brief accompaniment by a spiritual director.

Directed retreats are also referred to as individually guided retreats.

Preached

A preached retreat is one in which the presenter or director offers input to the whole group once or twice a day. Some directors may be available to meet with individuals on an occasional basis during the course of the retreat.

The rest of the day is available for quiet prayer and reflection either indoors or taking advantage of Manresa's attractive environment.

Themed (guided)

Guided retreats or themed retreat offers some structure with options from which the retreatant may choose.

There is a more structured timetable, perhaps with morning prayer, evening or night prayer in common, some material offered to the group for reflection, opportunities for guided prayer in addition to some times for individual meetings with a spiritual director.

Included on residential retreats

Mass

Mass is usually celebrated each day and a short period of silent common prayer is generally scheduled during longer retreats. The schedule proposed during shorter retreats varies.

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is usually available during a retreat.

Sacrament of the Sick

The Sacrament of the Sick may be celebrated during some retreats.
