Our Mission Statement:
St. Cassian’s is a safe and welcoming place for young people,
where they can take time to reflect on their lives,
with Christ as their Guide and St. John Baptist de la Salle as their inspiration.
St Cassian’s Centre is located in Kintbury, West Berkshire.
The centre is surrounded by beautiful Berkshire countryside and wildlife.
The team is made up of four permanent retreat team staff; Emma, Siân, Tom and Katy who coordinate the retreats.
We then have six volunteer team members who change each year and consist of mainly gap year students who join before or after attending university. This year the volunteers are; Ania, Bex, Binky, Clare, Hugh and Kezia.
During your stay, we hope you feel welcome and at home at the Centre. Our invitation for you is to join 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, alongside Brother Dominic Green FSC and Brother Joe Hendron FSC, when it opened in 1975.
The centre is owned by the De La Salle Trustees and we are very fortunate to have two De La Salle Brothers who live within our community, Brother Terry and Brother Bernard.
We are a Lasallian community that lives by the 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.
