Parish Missions
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:
