Katherine House in Salford is a place of hospitality and prayer, owned and run by the Faithful Companions of Jesus, an international congregation of Catholic sisters whose life of service, spirituality and companionship is rooted in faith, hope and love. The house offers a peaceful, uncluttered setting for those who wish to spend time in reflection, to study, to pray, or simply to be still away from the pace of everyday life.

Visiting Katherine House can feel like stepping into a rhythm of welcome and discernment. The sisters live out their calling through hospitality, community and prayer, and visitors are invited to share in that way of life, whether for a retreat, a conference, a period of study, or a quiet personal retreat from the world outside. Many who come away describe the experience as unexpectedly restorative and grounding.

Around the house, the community gathers for worship, shared meals and conversation, and there is space for small groups, courses and events that draw people from across the region and beyond. The emphasis is on openness: a space where people of different backgrounds and traditions can be accepted, listened to and accompanied, and where questions of faith are met with kindness rather than certainty.

Those who have stayed at Katherine House often speak of the blessings of the time spent there and of the sense of peace that lingers afterwards. The house continues to serve individuals, parishes and groups seeking space for prayer, learning and fellowship, and the sisters remain glad to welcome anyone who wishes to make contact, arrange a visit or learn more about the life and work of the Faithful Companions of Jesus.
