The Christian Heritage Centre is delighted to announce a retreat exploring the life and faith of St Dominic de Guzman. Dominic was noted for combating the Albigensian heresy, which saw the material order, including the human body, as evil. Dominic is well-known as the founder of the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans), whose objective was to continue safeguarding the Catholic faith, and also for having received the rosary from Our Lady.
The retreat will thus also offer a focus on Dominic’s Marian spirituality and the role of the Rosary in Christian prayer. This will be led by Fr Lawrence Lew, OP.
Retreatants will also have the opportunity to experience Mass in the Dominican Rite on the Saturday, when the Souls of the Faithful Departed will be commemorated (All Souls).
Mass for the Solemnity of All Saints (a Holy Day of Obligation) will be offered on the Friday at 5.30pm as an option.
