San Damiano Spirituality Centre offers a variety of retreats.
There are three types of retreats, namely, preached retreats, individual guided retreats (IGR) and Days of Recollection.
While the Centre endeavours to offer these retreats throughout the year, we are open to the possibility of organising private retreats if and when resources are available.
Preached Group Retreats
Preached Group Retreats
A preached group retreat focuses on a particular Franciscan theme. These retreats will involve group sharing and various communal prayer sessions. These retreats are ideal for small Christian communities or Church ministry members.
Due to the capacity of the Centre, these group retreats are limited to 20 participants at any point of time.

Individual Guided Retreat (IGR)
Individual Guided Retreat (IGR)
An individually guided retreat offers you the time and opportunity to pay attention to God and to be more aware of God’s work in your life. These retreats are held in silence and involve daily sessions with your assigned director. His/her role is to help you focus, reflect and discern God’s message to you during your time with Him.
While on retreat, you are free to spend the time as you wish. There is daily Mass, Morning and Evening Prayers offered during your stay. Aside from these, you are invited to make use of the Centre’s space or even the Bukit Batok Nature Reserve across the road as sacred spaces where you walk and talk with our Lord.
These IGRs are limited to 16 participants at any point of time. Alternatively, you may write to us to arrange for a personal retreat. This is subject to availability of Spiritual Directors from the Centre.

Day of Recollection
Day of Recollection
Days of Recollection are offered to help groups take some time out away from their busy schedules and spend it with the Lord. These days are limited in their capacity for participants to spend quiet time in reflection, and are usually held to help groups take stock of their lives, be nourished by some input, and be given time to reflect on where God may be calling each one.
Unique to our Centre, however, is that all Days of Recollection are to be centred on a Franciscan theme, in accordance with the Centre’s mission to share Franciscan Spirituality.
