A&B Young Adults' Retreat Day- Burgess Hill
About this event
Part of our Young Adult Retreat series: "You also are my witnesses, because you have been with me" (Jn 15:27). Pope Leo XIV's message for the 40th World Youth Day.
Young Adults (18-35) from across the UK are invited to join the Youth team from Arundel and Brighton Diocese for a Retreat Day at St Wilfrid's Burgess Hill on Saturday 26th September 2026.
This retreat day will focus on being a peacemaker:
"If you wish to draw others to peace, first have it yourselves; be steadfast in peace yourselves. To inflame others, you must have the flame burning within."
Saint Augustine of Hippo, Sermon. 357, 3.
Join us and guest speakers for a powerful one-day retreat — a sacred opportunity to encounter Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Come as you are, bringing your fears, joys, struggles, and hopes before Him in an atmosphere of prayer, worship, and openness.
A jam-packed day of prayer, formation, friendship, and fun as together, we will seek hearts open to His healing presence, trusting that Jesus desires to bring freedom, restoration, and transformation to our lives. As we encounter Him, we pray to discover true peace within ourselves, to become peacemakers in the world around us, and to be renewed with an apostolic fire burning brightly within our hearts.
Lunch and refreshments included in the ticket price.
Participants are very welcome to join Parish Mass at 6:30pm, with social time at a local pub to follow.
