A SPECIAL PLACE:

Set in 500 hectares of pleasant bush and pasture land, St. Mary's Towers is gifted with an atmosphere conducive to prayer and reflection.

A PLACE OF SILENCE:

We cultivate a place of profound contemplative silence in an hospitable environment which binds and communicates. This silence extends from our way of living and moving about ordinary tasks, to an inward contemplative attitude towards one's own self and God.
The silence of this place is at the service of a serious commitment to a spirit of prayer.

OUR TASK :

To work with passion and patience, to shape, to hold, and to be, that particular space, in which God does in people's hearts, that which God needs and desires to do.

THE HOME OF THE SPIRIT:

Environment and silence, though precious to us, are but a preparation for what God alone can achieve.
St. Mary's Towers is home to a way of life. The people at The Towers are motivated and formed by their personal experience of the divine and human love of God in the heart of Jesus, now glorified and living on in all creation.
This spirit and life find expression in a natural and normal living out of the kindness of God, towards those who live here and those who visit.


All retreats commence with the evening meal at 6pm
followed by Eucharist on the first date shown.
They conclude following an early afternoon Eucharist
on the last date shown.
Eucharist is celebrated daily
and Reconciliation is available by arrangement.
Complete silence is observed throughout all retreats.
