A Listening Heart is a Ministry to Priest’s programme presented by Knock Shrine. We understand the demands, pressures and challenges of current pastoral life. We offer space, time and a listening ear to the busy priest. You are welcome for a week, a day or a few hours to find time away to rest, reflect and recover your energy.
As part of the Vincentian Ministry to Priests at Knock, we are available for reconciliation, spiritual direction or a simple chat. If you would like any further information, contact us at a_listening_heart@vincentians.ie or call Frs. Michael c.m. or Aidan c.m. at 085 8831953.
