Message from the Director
“For My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all Nations.” Is 56:7

Dear Friends,

Prayerful greetings to all!

I thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving us this retreat centre, which in a short span of two years has become a lighthouse and prayer tower for many people. The Word of God in Isaiah 56:7 that calls to our hearts the wish and desire of God is fulfilled in the Divine Retreat Centre, a place where many people from different walks of life and culture offer prayers and praise to God for His powerful dwelling presence, that they experience in Divine during the prayer and ministry. We are grateful to the Archdiocese of Toronto for inviting the Vincentian Congregation to begin this retreat centre, and we thank the Family Prayer Mission that helped us to initiate the retreat centre in Toronto. I also thank all the priests before me (Fr. Joby Kachapilly VC, Fr. John Cheriavely VC), who served in the retreat centre. We also thank the well-wishers and benefactors of Divine who helped us in numerous ways to take care of the ministry in proclaiming the Word of God. I pray that God’s presence guides us in fulfilling the plan and purpose of God for the retreat centre to become a house of prayer for all nations, Amen.

We request your precious prayers for the retreat centre, and you are in our prayers. We will be giving our ministry schedule through this website and our Facebook page.
