Sisters of Charity of St Paul the Apostle announce their latest retreats

January 21 2025

The Sisters of Charity of St Paul the Apostle have announced details of their latest retreats taking place in 2025. You will find details below of various residential retreats, day conferences and prayer days being held at the Dupuis Retreat Centre in Selly Oak.

The Sisters of Charity of St Paul the Apostle are a community of Catholic religious women who endeavour to live the Gospel way of life.

They commit our lives and our resources to spreading the Gospel message. They seek to respond to the needs of the poor, to respect the dignity of each person and the sacredness of all creation.

As Sisters of Charity of St. Paul, they consecrate ourselves freely through the vows of poverty, celibacy and obedience to a life-long service of God and neighbour.

Their patron is St. Paul and their foundress is Geneviève Dupuis.

Today they live and work in England & Scotland, Ireland and Romania.

Their central house is at Selly Park, Birmingham, England.
