2011 Good Friday Retreat

Fr Bob Whiteside will lead this year’s Annual Retreat on Good Friday (22nd April).  The day begins at 9.30 a.m. for registration.

Fr Bob is from Eglinton, Co. Derry and is a graduate of St Patrick’s College, Armagh.  He studied for the priesthood at All Hallows before taking up parish work in Leeds for seven years.  He has a deep interest in “the delivery of the message”.  He did his MA in Notre Dame, Indiana where he fine-tuned his homiletic, liturgical and communication skills.  Since the mid 1970’s he has also been developing programmes in pastoral care and supervision in All Hallows.

The College provides lunch and dinner for participants of the retreat and the Union requests a voluntary donation of €50 (€20 for unwaged) to help defray the expenses of the day.  It is a great help to have the form below returned to the College to facilitate planning for the caterers.

The Union is proud to be associated with the Good Friday retreat and would encourage everyone to contact any other pastmen who might be interested in attending.
