Retreat Day at Downside – Sunday 26th April 2026
You and your family are warmly invited to join us at Downside on Sunday 26th April 2026 for our Retreat Day.
From Easter to Pentecost with the Holy Spirit affords an opportunity for spiritual renewal during the joyful fifty-day Easter season that culminates in Pentecost as the Church’s birthday and the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There will be opportunities for prayer, reflection and teaching in the familiar setting of Downside. The day will emphasise the Holy Spirit’s transformative work, from Christ’s Resurrection to the Birth of the Church.
An outline of the day is detailed below. Pre-booking is essential.
