"COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOUR AND ARE BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." (MATTHEW 11:28)"

Welcome to Divine Retreat Centre!

The Divine Retreat Centre is blessed to receive you into the portals of our website, as we have been receiving God’s people over the last three decades at our retreat centre, week after week. The arms of God are ever open and welcoming to those who seek His face and His healing touch. Jesus as He walked this earth assured the multitudes who approached Him, “I will not send anyone who comes to me empty handed” (John 6:37). Indeed, everyone who came to Him experienced new life. As the Lord ascended, He commissioned His disciples to continue His mission in the power of the Holy Spirit. Under the direction of the Catholic Church, the Divine Retreat Centre has been graced by the Holy Spirit to be the open arms of the Lord to receive and convey the peace and healing of the Lord Jesus. We pray that as you browse through these pages, the healing Word and renewing power of the Lord will encourage and inspire you.
