The annual UAC retreat is an established event in our Pallottine calendar and took place from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th September. The theme of the retreat this year was the Call to Holiness in the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate. We were 33 participants in all, some from the local area around Thurles, members of the Cahir group, the Cork group and those who travelled down from Dublin, from Dundrum and the parishes in Corduff and Shankill. As always we were warmly welcomed by the local Pallottine Community in the College in Thurles and the good Lord blessed us with lovely weather so that we were able to enjoy the grounds and some fresh air.
