Catholic Retreat House
Catholic Retreat House
A place to explore faith and renew oneself in quiet, and through prayer and accompaniment to re-order our relationships with God, with others and with ourselves.
About the Retreat House
Exploring in silence, renewed in prayer
Located in Chung Hom Kok, Stanley, the Catholic Retreat House has long served Church groups, preserving a quiet space for prayer, retreats and faith formation.
Its mission is not simply to provide a place to stay, but to offer a slower rhythm in which people can re-order their lives through prayer, Scripture, personal reflection, group sharing and reconciliation—deepening faith, renewing themselves, and rebuilding their relationships with God, with others and with themselves.
Since 2024, the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres have continued their service at the Catholic Retreat House in Chung Hom Kok, carrying forward its mission as a place of prayer, retreat and spiritual renewal.
