If you open the ear of your heart you will hear that Christ is calling: do you want to say yes with the freedom of grace and love? St Benedict reminds us ‘to run while you have the light of life’, but before you head off on the next thing, spend time at Mirfield to help you check out your ideas with God, because God loves you and desires you to have Life.

Autumn Individually Guided Retreat

Date / Time: Sunday 20th October 2019

IGR’s enable you to spend a week in personal prayer and reflection on scripture, sharing silence with the Community.

There are no addresses as in other retreats. Rather, each person, meeting daily with an experienced guide, follows their own path as it seems God is leading them. The emphasis is on integrating body, mind and heart in faith.

Led by the Mirfield IGR Team

The cost for this retreat is £420

All Saints Pilgrimage Weekend

Date / Time: Friday 1st November 2019

‘May the light of your presence which the saints enjoy surround our steps as we journey on.’  (From the Daily Office)

As Christians, we journey with Christ through the years of our life. Sometimes people leave their ordinary surroundings and make a special journey to spend time in the presence of God in a special place. Our Pilgrimage retreats are an invitation to come to such a place and stay with us for a short time – to worship, eat and talk with the brothers of the Community; to explore faith together; and to see what the Rule of Benedict might have to say for your own daily living. Come and walk with us, wherever you are on your faith journey. Whether you come alone or bring a group from your parish, you will find companions for that journey and experience the mystery of the Resurrection, the life-giving love of God at the heart of all things.

Led by Brothers CR

The cost of this retreat is £135 per person

Hebrew for Beginners Retreat

Date / Time: Friday 13th December 2019

This really is what it says and no previous knowledge is required!

Far from being daunted you will have fun, whilst learning some very useful skills which will enhance your reading and understanding of the bible. You will learn, for example, how to look up words in a Theological Dictionary of Hebrew – that is, a dictionary in which the words are arranged according to the Hebrew alphabet, but which are commented on in English! This is often highly enlightening and regularly goes beyond what you might find out from even a good commentary in English.

Leader: John Wigfield, Director of Pioneering Ministry and OT tutor, St Hild
