Retreats & Groups
Retreats and group stays organised for churches, charities and community gatherings at Katherine House in Salford.
Hosting a group retreat
Katherine House has long been offered as a resource to people of all faiths and none, and group retreats can be organised at the house.
The centre suits training days, meetings and church or charity groups looking for a quiet, welcoming setting with rooms for shared work, quiet reflection and meals together. A chapel, coffee area and lawned garden give space for prayer, conversation and rest over the course of a day or a longer stay.
Accommodation for individuals seeking a personal retreat is not provided; the work at the house is arranged around groups, training days and meetings.
For availability, dates and rates, please make a direct enquiry — the sisters respond to requests for churches and charities with affordable levels in mind.
