Friday 9th – Sunday 11th October 2026
Mary, our Sister, Mother and Guide: Praying with Mary
With Nicola Slee, Professor of Feminist Practical Theology
Although there is precious little about Mary in the New Testament, what we do find there is fascinating, suggestive of a rich and varied Marian tradition from the earliest times of the Church.
In this retreat, we will explore different ways of thinking about Mary and how these might shape the ways in which we relate to her and pray with her.
