RETREAT DAY TALLAGHT
Members from the Lectio Centre in Newry were delighted to attend a Retreat at the Dominican Priory Retreat Centre in Tallaght on Saturday June 27th 2026. We received a warm welcome from Fr Joseph and Sr Mary, whose hospitality set the tone for a truly enriching day.
Fr John Harris the Provincial, provided spiritually uplifting reflections on two Gospel passages through the practice of Lectio Divina. His insightful guidance encouraged us to reflect deeply on God’s Word and to meditate prayerfully on its meaning in our daily lives
It was a grace filled day of prayer, reflection and fellowship for which all who attended are deeply grateful.
Below is a selection of photos capturing time spent in the beautiful Priory gardens, where we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of God’s creation.
A truly Spiritually up lifting evening as Fr Joseph celebrated a Mass of Commitment for all the Lectio Communities on Monday evening in the Dominican Hall in Newry.
Here are a few photos as we shared tea and tray bakes afterwards. Thank you Teresa and Eithne for providing the hospitality. A huge thanks also to Patricia who made a delicious fruit cake to celebrate Word of God Sunday. We are so blessed to have a such a great community spirit in the Lectio Centre in Newry
