The Community of the Resurrection consists of men who, freely accepting the call of God, have committed themselves to follow the gospel life.
Mirfield Monastery offers a unique, peaceful and comfortable venue for conferences, meetings and other events
We aim to renew this place of hospitality, welcome and learning as a resource for Church and society in a turbulent and changing world. Our aim is to ensure that all who come can share in our life and leave refreshed and renewed through their experience.
People who stay at the Mirfield Monastery, home of the Community of the Resurrection, come for a variety of different reasons. These can be individually arranged retreats, guided retreats led by a member of the Community or the College, week long special courses, or clergy retreats.

Bread Of Heaven
‘Bread’ appears in the bible 306 times and has long been a staple of the diet; Benedict’s rule gives instruction on the quantity each should receive. During this silent retreat we will spend time in prayer, with music, art and literature, with Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar – and we might bake some bread along the way!
Leaders: Fr Aidan CR & Br Fabian nCR
The cost of this retreat is £190

IGR’s enable you to spend a week in personal prayer and reflection on scripture, sharing silence with the Community. The emphasis is on growing in the practice of discernment – finding God in all things. You will be able to meet each day with the retreat guide who will offer suggestions for further prayer.

Keeping a reflective journal can help us to become more attentive, to notice what is going on – within ourselves, other people and the world around us.
Learning to look and listen with the eyes and ears of the heart brings us into a deeper relationship with God and God’s creation.
This weekend offers you time and space, in this special place of prayer, to practice that attentiveness through the written word.
Whether you regularly keep a spiritual journal or will be trying it for the first time, this retreat will encourage you to see the holy in the ordinary.
Leader: The Revd Canon Barbara Clarke, Associate CR

For more than 120 years, the Community of St Mary the Virgin (Wantage) and the Community of the Resurrection (Mirfield) have worked together – in the UK and in South Africa.
In 2018, we are delighted to have programmed two joint retreats – at Mirfield in April and Wantage in October – as part of this continuing relationship.
Sr Elizabeth Jane and Br Philip will lead this silent retreat in April, which will include four addresses and opportunities for individual conversations with the leaders. Retreatants will eat together and join the Community for worship and prayer.
The retreat will begin with Evensong (6pm) on Friday 27 April and finish after lunch on Sunday 29 April. Retreatants are welcome to arrive before and/or to stay on afterwards.
Led By Sr Elizabeth Jane CSMV & Br Philip CR
The inclusive cost of the retreat is £140, including meals and two nights’ accommodation in the retreat house.
We welcome you to come to CR and to share in our life. Some come regularly to talk with a brother, others spend a day or two experiencing this very different environment. Individuals and groups come on retreat and pilgrimage, share in the teaching and courses we offer and join us in worship and meals.
