Retreat Day Photo, 14 September

Beautiful photo of the group who attended the retreat, joined by Brother Bernard Redden, a Cistercian monk. The retreat was held in Tarrawarra Abbey, Yarra Glen.

Catholics on Campus organised a day of retreat on 14th September at Tarrawarra Abbey in the Yarra Valley. For most of us it was the first opportunity to visit an Abbey and meet the monks.
We arrived in time for the 10a.m. community Mass after which we enjoyed morning tea with other members of the congregation including the monks.
Our retreat giver, Br. Bernard Redden, led us in two sessions where we reflected on, and shared together, the experience of how God reveals Himself and calls us in the ordinary events of our life.
It proved to be an opportunity for us to grow together as a group and to take in the atmosphere of the prayer and peace of the Abbey amid such beautiful surroundings.
