University Student Retreat - 16-18 October 2026

Welcome!

We look forward to spending a few days with you in the quiet beauty of Santhom Grove, with access to its beautiful outdoor setting, chapel and the Blessed Sacrament throughout our stay. On the occasion of the Jubilee of St Francis of Assisi, we will reflect on the Franciscan theme of Perfect Joy, with talks led by Fr Thomas McFadden OFM Cap.

Together, we will explore what it means to discover and live this joy amid the ordinary, the challenging and the unexpected. We hope these days will be a time of rest and renewal, friendship and prayer, and an opportunity to rediscover the joy that comes from a life rooted in Christ.
