Parish Missions

Picture
St Patrick’s community has been established for 13 years, and have given over 200 missions in a variety of parishes ranging from Cathedrals to small country Churches. A parish mission is a time of great grace and renewal and is open to everyone, whether they are 5 years of age or 95, whether they are strong in their faith or if they struggle sometimes. 

We offer to Parishes either a five-day retreat running from Monday to Friday or a three-day retreat from Monday to Wednesday with an introduction at the weekend Masses. 

Here is some of the feedback we have received from previous missions:

  • “I have been going to mass every Sunday since I was 7 yrs old, but at this mission I have personally met Jesus for the first time in my life”  - 79 year old man

  • “I feel like this week has inspired me ”  - middle aged woman 

  • “God’s real, isn’t he?”  - 16 year old boy

  • “This mission has shown me how much God loves me”  - emotional 12 year old girl

  • “I haven’t been to Mass in years but after attending the evening sessions during the week I decided to come back regularly to Mass.” Commented one parent who attended the Mission after receiving the invitation from her child.
