Welcome to the Benedict XVI Centre<\/p>\n<\/div>
The Benedict XVI Retreat Centre is a purpose built retreat centre for schools and parishes, agencies, religious orders, communities and movements and other groups. It was established by the Archdiocese of Sydney as a facility to support an expanded retreat program throughout the Archdiocese.<\/p>\n
The Catholic Education Office Sydney joined the Archdiocese in the redevelopment of the Centre with a view to accommodating the retreat and activity needs of all the systemic schools within the Archdiocese of Sydney and beyond.<\/p>\n
The Centre provides wonderful new facilities to support the pastoral goals of both the Archdiocese and the CEO, Sydney, in particular encouraging the practice of retreat as a way of augmenting existing programs of faith formation. The BXVI Centre is open to all and the facilities will have broad appeal to a wide variety of groups looking for a peaceful venue for a weekend, a few days or longer.<\/p>\n
Free Wi-Fi available throughout the Centre<\/p>\n<\/div>
