Young people between the ages of 18-30 are invited to Re-Encounter, a weekend spent coming together as a community to share in the charism of St Eugene!
In light of 2024 being declared a year of prayer by Pope Francis, we will take the opportunity to spend time reflecting on the importance of prayer in our lives and in the life of our founder St Eugene de Mazenod. This year we are very lucky to have two presenters give their time to help us reflect on our own prayer lives. Fr Kieran Gill - a young Jesuit - will be joining us to run the morning session on Ignatian prayer, which was a significant influence on St Eugene’s spirituality. After lunch, Fr Frank Santucci will join us virtually to talk to us about prayer in the life of St Eugene and it’s influence on Mazenodian spirituality today.
