Prayer and the sacraments

At Divine Retreat Centre, Somersby, we warmly welcome you to spend time in prayer and eucharistic adoration.

Eucharistic adoration is available daily, with two Perpetual Adoration Chapels on our campus, offering a sacred and peaceful space to encounter Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

For those seeking deeper spiritual renewal, we also welcome you to spend a few days in silence, making your own personal silent retreat, away from the distractions of daily life, to listen to God’s voice and rest in his loving presence.

If you wish to undertake a personal silent retreat, kindly contact us in advance to let us know you are coming so we can make the necessary arrangements.
