Regular Events
Retreats
This is an outline programme of our main retreats for 2020. Further details and additional information will be continually updated. Other events are also announced on the Latest News page. You are welcome to come at any time for spiritual guidance, to join in the daily routine of the Augustinian Community and to enjoy the peace and prayerfulness of Clare Priory.
Way of Silence Days
These days are for those who wish to have a time of silence and prayer and are led by our Team who wish to share with you their experience of silent prayer, or meditation as it is also known. In our busy lives we can lose sight of God and what matters in life. Sr Teresa of Calcutta says 'God is a friend of silence. His language is silence.' Everyone is welcome, whether you are experienced in silent prayer or wish to learn more about this way of praying. Jesus said 'Go to your inner room, and God who is there, will teach you everything.' Please see the Retreats page for comments shared by those who have attended these days.
