Children and Young People's Programme
Following on from an exceptional retreat in 2024 and 2025 we are delighted to announce details regarding our children's programme running alongside the Adult retreat.
NET ministries will be returning to run sessions for children aged 11-18 years old. Their aim is to challenge young Catholics, through relational ministry, to follow Christ and embrace a life of community in the Church.
The Mark 10 Mission will deliver our primary programme. The Mark 10 Mission is a project created to share the Gospel with school children and lead them to encounter Jesus in a powerful and personal way. Their mission is to help school children experience the Word of God through prayer and singing together.
We will also be hosting special talks and discussion groups for young adults.
