Castleville provides evenings of recollection for various groups every month, during which the chaplain of the centre directs two periods of meditation, time is provided for personal prayer, and participants have the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. The evening ends with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Throughout the year weekend retreats are organised in a number of venues, notably Lismullin Conference Centre, Tara, Co Meath. Click here for details of student retreats at Lismullin.

"Retreats are a wonderful gift from God to each and everyone: a time to put all else aside, to listen to him only. They are a truly valuable opportunity!"
(Pope John Paul II, Rise, let us be on our way, 2004)
