Vocation Retreat 2027
The Church of Ireland Commission on Ministry will host a Vocation Retreat from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 February 2027 at the Manresa Retreat Centre, Clontarf, Dublin 3. The retreat offers a valuable opportunity for individuals who are exploring God's call to ordained ministry within the Church of Ireland.
Whether you are just beginning to consider a vocation or have been discerning your calling for some time, this retreat provides a welcoming and supportive environment to reflect, pray and explore the next steps in your vocational journey.
The retreat will feature Bishop Esther Prior, Bishop of Aston in the Diocese of Birmingham, as the guest speaker.
Throughout the weekend, participants will have opportunities to engage in worship, prayer, personal reflection, informal discussions and practical conversations about ordained ministry. There will also be opportunities to meet clergy and members of the Commission on Ministry, hear about their experiences and gain a deeper understanding of the journey towards ordination.
We warmly encourage anyone considering a calling to ordained ministry to take this opportunity to pause, listen and discern where God may be leading them.
