About this Event
Unwrapping the Gift: a retreat of prayer and presence
Come join us at the Dominican retreat centre for a day filled with peace and reflection. This event is all about taking a step back from the busyness of life and focusing on the gift of presence - to the moment, to ourselves, to each other and to God, who first gives Himself wholly to us.
