The retreat is open to men in all states of life, who wish to seek God’s will through a deepened detachment from the world.
DIGITAL GIVING:

There are now two new ways of cashless giving
1. It’s very easy to use the card reader at the back of church, clear instructions are with the machine,
OR
2. You can use the QR code in church and on the website, just scan the code and follow the simple instructions
