​SPIRITUALITY

Picture

​ 
“Prayer is a plant, the seed of which is sown in the heart of every Christian. If it is well cultivated and nourished, it will produce abundant fruit, but if it is neglected it will wither and die.”

Catherine McAuley

A PRAYER SPACE
IN THE
HEART OF THE CITY
Come for a day, a few days or for a week.
Find peace and tranquility in the quiet corridors and rooms in this beautiful building.
Spend time in the chapel or walk in the gardens. 

(You will never know that you are in the centre of a city.)

​Enjoy time on your own or reflect with others.
