Do you feel that God is calling you to serve in His church but don’t know where to start? This retreat offers a chance to talk informally with members of the diocesan vocations team and explore where that calling might lead.

This 24-hour Retreat, at the Metropole Hotel in Llandrindod Wells from 6pm on Friday, 15 May to 6pm on Saturday, 16 May, is designed to help you find your way.

You will have the opportunity to find out about the exciting range of lay and ordained vocations that are available in the Church in Wales. We will eat and worship as a community and we will reflect together on the nature of vocation.

You will have the opportunity for one-to-one conversations with the Bishop’s Officer for Lay Ministry, the Warden of Readers and the DDO, to learn about the next steps. There will also be free time for private prayer and reflection in and around the tranquil and scenic spa town of Llandrindod Wells.

This event is free, including accommodation on Friday night, Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and refreshment breaks.

To reserve a place, please email Rev'd Prof Jane de Gay, Diocesan Director of Ministry, by Monday, 27 April 2026, giving your name and contact details, as well as details of any dietary or accessibility requirements. Please also state the church or Ministry Area where you normally worship.
