Saint John Henry Newman said about "The College", his home at Littlemore from 1842-1846: "As I made Littlemore a place of retreat for myself, so I offered it to others. The Spiritual Family The Work is the guardian of The College today. The Sisters offer rooms for private retreats to those who wish to pray and study at this place as Newman did. The guests pray in the chapel where Newman was received into full communion with the Catholic Church; they may participate in the daily prayer life of the community (divine office, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Mass in the chapel or parish church) and use the specialised Newman library. Groups of up to 18 are welcome for days of retreat. RC.
