Called Retreat Days are held on the first Saturday of each month (9.00am–3.00pm) at Whānau Māria Centre, Ponsonby, Auckland.
CALLED is open to young adults aged 18–30 who desire space to slow down, pray, reflect, and listen to God’s presence and call in their lives.
Fr Frank Bird guides this retreat day and helps create a prayerful space to enter into silence, pray with scripture, experience the sacraments, and listen more deeply to God.
With only 10 places available each month, CALLED is intentionally small, creating a safe and supportive environment for reflection, silence, prayer, and faith-sharing.
