Second Year Retreat

“Fruits of the Spirit”

This programme designed specifically for second-year students. Nestled in the heart of County Mayo, this sacred site, with its rich heritage and tranquil atmosphere, offers the perfect setting for young minds to explore and deepen their understanding of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Over the course of this retreat, participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, guided by the timeless values of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Through engaging workshops, reflective prayer sessions, and group discussions, students will learn how these virtues can be actively lived out in their daily lives, serving as a testament to their beliefs and faith.

Though rooted in Catholic tradition, this program warmly welcomes students of all religions and beliefs. Our inclusive approach encourages an open dialogue where all participants can share their perspectives, learn from one another, and find common ground in the universal values that unite us.

Whether you are seeking to deepen your faith, explore new spiritual paths, or simply find inner peace, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to connect with yourself, others, and the divine in a meaningful way. Come and experience the serenity of Ballintubber Abbey, where history and spirituality converge, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a stronger connection to the fruits of the Spirit in your life.
