St. Cassian’s Centre is located in Kintbury, between Hungerford and Newbury in West Berkshire. The Centre is set in the quiet of the countryside and has beautiful grounds. The team is made up of both a Retreat Team and a Volunteer Team. The Retreat Team is made up of four permanent members; Emma, Siân, Chana and Jet, who co-ordinate the retreats. The young Volunteer Team changes each year and consists of mainly gap year students joining just after college or university. These teams together form the overall Kintbury Team. They are responsible for making you feel thoroughly welcome and at home during your stay at the Centre. Our invitation is for you to join with our community while you are here. The standard retreat programme follows the themes of Welcome, Awareness, Reconciliation and Good News. These themes were developed by Brother Damian Lundy FSC, who was the main inspiration behind the Centre, when it opened in 1975.

The De La Salle Brothers own and fund the Centre, which makes us a Lasallian community.  We use five core principles of: Faith in the presence of God, Respect for all persons, Inclusive community, Quality education and Concern for the poor and social justice, to underpin all we do.
