This retreat intends to gather women for spiritual refreshment at a time when they are often their busiest. It will offer an oasis of calm in the season of preparation, with a combination of input, practical workshops, times of prayer and fellowship.
The National Board of Catholic women (NBCW) was established in 1938 to give voice to women in the Church at a time when women were taking a more proactive role in society. The NBCW is an umbrella organisation holding many different Catholic women’s groups together in unity. It aims to bring women into communion with one another, it offers formation to help women fully participate in the Mission of the Church and it advocates for women in the area of social justice.
