January 2025, in this jubilee year of hope, has been bookended by some stormy weather but in between the team at Castletown Retreat Centre has been blessed to have been able to welcome several groups to us.

Earlier this term, our Year 8 students took a much-needed break from their regular routines to dive into something a little different: their retreat days.

This year’s theme, “Doorstep Moments,” was inspired by the life-changing encounter between St. John Baptist de La Salle and Adrian Nyel.

At St John’s Ballyfermot Retreat Centre the team has had a very busy introduction to 2025 as they welcomed a number of new schools.
