Called Retreat Days are held on the first Saturday of each month (9.00am–3.00pm) at Whānau Māria Centre, Ponsonby, Auckland for Young Adults 18-30 years of age.
November is our last retreat day for 2026. We are going to spend a day with St Ignatius of Loyola who is famous for giving special rules for discernment - how to make good decisions.
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.
We won’t put a limit on the places available for this month but CALLED is intentionally small, creating a safe and supportive environment for reflection, silence, prayer, and faith-sharing.
Welcome and Introduction to simple prayer and reflective practices
Quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament
1st Session: Who Am I - What is discernment?
2nd Session: How do I do it?
Lunch and relaxed reflection time
3rd Session: Tools for the Journey.
During the day there will be an opportunity for
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Spiritual Accompaniment
The cost for the day is $10, which covers:
Lunch and hospitality
Printed Prayer Booklet and Discernment Booklet
Registration and payment is required for catering and printing purposes.
