Rediscover the joy of knowing ourselves 'Beloved by God' - Online Retreat with the School for Synodality

The School for Synodality is holding a unique online retreat day on Saturday, 27 June 2026, open to all those who wish to rediscover the joy of knowing ourselves 'beloved by God'.

What would it be like to experience ourselves as Beloved of God?

If you were asked what were the turning points of your life, you might say a job interview, or falling in love, But what about your baptism?

In the Gospel of Luke, during Jesus' baptism, God spoke from heaven: "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased". Through the gift of our baptism, God makes us his beloved sons and daughters. The challenge is to let that truth resonate with us, amid all the hustle of life.

We invite you to rediscover the joy of knowing ourselves beloved by God, unpacking that gift with inspirational Catholic speaker David Wells, and a mixture of personal reflection and the opportunity to share prayerfully with others.

This beautiful opportunity is for anyone who feels drawn to reflect on their relationship to God and our beloved nature - no previous knowledge or reading necessary. Just bring yourself!

The Beloved online retreat takes place on
Saturday 27 June 2026 12 noon - 4pm BST (GMT + 1)
