Pastoral Programme - Douai Abbey: The Monastery of St Edmund, King & Martyr

Go to content
At Douai Abbey we offer a programme of retreats, workshops, courses and day-schools which offer the opportunity for spiritual and personal development. The focus is generally on spirituality, theology, scripture, history and ministry.


Please direct any enquiry about a programme offering, or the possibility of a midweek individual retreat, to the pastoral programme director (not the guestmaster) by email (pastoral@douaiabbey.org.uk).

We regret we cannot offer weekend retreats this season, but you are welcome to come for a midweek individual private retreat of 2 or 3 days if we have room. A monk may be available for spiritual direction.  

**N.B. Bookings for each event will close two (2) weeks before the event begins. We kindly ask that you comply with the booking deadlines as we cannot guarantee a place after that.**
