About This Event

This retreat will focus on the role of several female mystics who were catalysts of social change during their lifetimes and beyond, exploring the extensive contributions of the four Female Doctors of the Church: Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Teresa of Avila, and Saint Thèrése of Lisieux, as well as an additional reflection on Saint Clare of Assisi.

Two conferences will be offered each day by Dr. Lori King, OblSB.

Daily Mass and the Divine Office will be available with the Benedictine Nuns in the monastic chapel and a private chapel is available in the retreat accommodations.

Ample time will be allowed for personal reflection and walks in the beautiful woods and garden of Kylemore Abbey.

The retreat will offer renewal and inspiration for the lives of women religious today.
