Join us at the peaceful Carmelite Priory at Boars Hill for a marriage retreat that will take you deeper with your spouse and God than you can imagine! Understanding St. John Paul II's vision for marriage, in newly rediscovered texts, unlocks the pathway to go into the deep and be not afraid! Retreat Leaders: Peter & Theresa Martin.
Come away with your spouse and pray ...
Get away from the bustle of everyday life. Give your spouse the gift of time – to deepen your love in Christ.
The natural beauty of the Carmelie Priory is the ideal place to retreat. You and your spouse will learn about NEWLY REDISCOVERED St. John Paul II’s Rule for Married Couples Groups & experience the deep spiritual union, available in sacramental marriage!
For commuters, book your rooms at a local hotel in Oxford.
