Updates on 2019 Retreats & Pilgrimages – Join Us!

We are currently registering for four retreats and pilgrimages in Ireland next spring 2019.

Please note: From June 2019-June 2020 the Abbey will be taking some sabbatical time and no live programs will be offered then. After the dates above, the next live programs will be scheduled in fall 2020.

Due to fewer programs being on offer the ones currently available are starting to fill even more quickly than usual. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in joining us! Happy to answer any questions.
