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.

Retreat director: Fr Hugh Lagan
It is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and thus create a life that has meaning.
These days of retreat, rest and renewal will explore ways to embrace our authentic selves as God’s beloved, deepen our most valuable relationships, reclaim our untended talents and refresh our spirit for the years ahead.
Father Lagan is a priest with the Society of African Missions and a chartered clinical psychologist. He has led retreats and workshops internationally on psychological and spiritual well-being, positive change, trauma and resilience.
