The Pre-School

The Family & Cultural Institute

Wise Words

"The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It ... is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be.."

- Marianne Neifert

Faith Formation

For Children

A 'Communion Club' held on Saturdays periodically between January and April offers concise and structured sessions to children who are preparing to receive the sacraments through their school programmes.

At Hill House, they can spend some time with their parents and prepare in a more personal way for their First Confession and First Holy Communion.

For Adults

Adult faith formation activities are held on a regular basis and include mornings of refelction for women on the third Thursday of each month and evenings of reflection for men on the third Monday of the month.

In each case the activities provide an opportunity to take time out from busy lives and reflect on the quality of one's Christian life and relationship with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Guided prayer by a Priest and formational talks by lay people offer practical suggestions on how to develop one's relationship with God in the middle of the demands of everyday work, family life and interactions with other people.

Overview

Hill House is a not-for-profit initiative that aims to support the role of parents as the primary educators of their children and offers a programme of parenting, family, faith formation and cultural activities as well as mother-and-toddler groups and a pre-school facility.

Inspiration

Inspired by the teachings of St Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, Hill House promotes activities that reflect a Christian outlook on life and culture. These activities are open to people of all creeds and backgrounds.
