Kylemore Swans

Retreats

The Notre Dame Global Centre at Kylemore offers residential spiritual retreats throughout the year, specifically themed and according to the liturgical calendar. In partnership with the Benedictine Community there are several opportunities to partake in a retreat at the ND Global Centre, that are coordinated with the community at Kylemore. The Abbey’s environment is particularly well suited for contemplation with its location in the heart of Connemara providing a natural separation from everyday life that is necessary for efforts in contemplative prayer.
