You may wish to participate in our Advent Retreat Evenings which are offered to accompany each of us on our pilgrim way. Advent is a beautiful season that begins firstly by calling us gently to an awareness that God is with us and then gradually increases it's intensity as we meet significant biblical characters that lead us to the Prince of Peace.
The retreat evenings will take place on Thursday and Friday evenings from 7-8pm throughout Advent on Zoom. We ask that you register in adcance by emailing communications@oblates.ie or by visiting our website: https://oblates.ie/advent-evening-retreats/?fbclid=IwAR3xvY8C5NnLvdSoHu2A2q0fzkcEvMT4xMC-YWe33UrNu1HV5mX0qZlP4Ic

Temporary closure of residential retreats
We regret that in the light of the Covid-19 virus pandemic as well as delayed and suspended work on our property, the centre will remain temporarily closed for individual residential retreats until January 2021 and depending on government regulation.
The Covid-19 virus brings an unprecedented challenge and given the rapidly changing public health situation, this is the only course open to us.
Life has radically changed for many of us over the past few months. We are going through an experience unprecedented in our lifetime. We share this experience with every person around the globe. Yet whether we are living with others or living alone we go through this time together. As Pope Francis’ said “united to Christ, we are never alone.”
We pray that you all stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Centre in the near future.
Ray Warren, OMI
Fr. Ray Warren is a Catholic priest and Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate with many years of pastoral ministry experience. He has served in leadership and administration for the past 12 years.
Located on the fringe of the City of London we are within walking distance from Tower Hill, Aldgate and Aldgate East tube stations as well as Tower Gateway Docklands Light Railway. Aldgate bus depot is also within walking distance.
The aim of the centre is to be a focal point of Spirituality and Mission for those who live and work in the City and surrounding area.
In the heart of the hustle and bustle of everyday life we welcome those who seek time for reflection and prayer or just to be quiet.
At DeMazenod House we run different types of events and retreats. Some are for those with a faith backgroud. Other events are suitable for those who are searching or living a Spiritual life without religious committment.
As well as running our own programme of events we welcome those who provide resources and programmes for other faith traditions and backgrounds.
The centre is run by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. We are a worlwide Missionary congregation. We have served the community in the Tower Hill area since 1864.
