Gougane Bara retreat

3rd and 6th yrs enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing and reflective retreat to Gougane Bara this term. Friendships were deepened and memories both shared and formed, as they gathered in the Oratory for reflection time, hiked the beautiful landscape and experienced the freedom and serenity of the Shehy Mountains.

“Think of what you hope for in this year — perhaps peace, courage, direction, gratitude, or deeper friendship.

See yourself stepping forward, setting down gently what doesn’t serve you, and carrying with you only what helps you grow.”
