This retreat is being offered for Trinity College and current university students in Ireland.
Step away from the daily rush of life to pray and study the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, with the Thomistic Institute. The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).
Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, meals and housing will be provided free for accepted applicants.
