Welcome to The Irenaeus Project
the glory of God is a person fully alive
The Irenaeus Project is a retreat centre, place of welcome, hospitality and prayer, and the Archdiocese of Liverpool's Centre for Spirituality and Outreach.
We aim to help people recognise the presence of God in their lives and to move to a deeper awareness of that presence through providing opportunities for prayer and reflection.
At Irenaeus everyone is welcome!
We aim to be prayerful, listening people, filled with hope, nourished, seeking to enable one another to develop our God given gifts, sensitive and responsive to the joys and pains around us. We work together for the building of God's kingdom.
