The Easter Triduum is the highlight of the liturgical year and our annual Easter retreat gives participants an opportunity to reflect on various aspects of the Christian faith through participation in the solemn celebration of the Paschal Liturgy, retreat talks and time for personal reflection.

The theme of this year’s retreat is ‘Dying you destroyed our death’ and the talks to be delivered will be as follows:

• From Cross to Crucifix: the Evolution of Christian Iconography with Fintan Lyons OSB.
• Awakening the Dawn with Dr Anne Francis.
• Paradise Lost, Paradise Found with Simon Sleeman OSB.
• The Rites of Spring: Easter in Irish History, Folklore and Tradition with Colmán Ó Clabaigh OSB.

The retreat will take place from the evening of Holy Thursday on 17th April to the morning of Easter Sunday on 20th April. Resident and non-resident participants are most welcome.
