Cuan Phádraig

Headquarters

Our Community Home and H.Q. is called “Cuan Phádraig” which is Gaelic for “Patrick’s Harbour”. We opened it as a Teaching, Training and Conference Centre in 2016, specialising in residential and day courses for up to 60 people. Set in seven acres of fields and garden, the setting is ideal for the soul in search of a tranquil and relaxing break.

Cuan Phádraig is run by community members and volunteers working closely together to make sure each guest is made to feel welcomed and cared for in a relaxing and peaceful environment which encourages each person to meet God in this special place. The venue provides a flexible, friendly and hospitable approach to each group or individual guest, without the rigid corporate feel of a large organisation.
