DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE

Shalom

The Divine Retreat Centre is the largest Catholic retreat centre in the world. Over 10 million pilgrims from all over the world have attended retreats here since 1990. It is an achievement possible only through the grace of God. The centre which started as a preaching ministry, has now evolved into a home of love by the providence of God. May God's grace be with you.

Monthly Reflection by
Fr. Augustine Vallooran VC

A lot of people staggering through life in the moments of their desperation ask the questions, “Who is there for me to sort the problems of my life? Who can I count on in the difficult moments?

Today, we pray for God's touch

Lord Jesus, God of love, we pray today that great peace comes into our world with Your one touch. Our world is torn by broken individuals, distant factions and fighting countries.
