Join us as Shalom House of Prayer celebrates its 50th Anniversary on Sunday, 8th December, in Carcoar. Shalom, one of the last lay-run retreat houses, invites you to a day of reflection, joy, and community. The event begins at 11:30 am with a Welcome to Country and an introduction to Shalom, followed by a special celebration Mass with Bishop Michael at 12:00 pm. From 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, enjoy a relaxing long lunch under the trees with live music by Limoncello. Vegetarian and gluten-free options, alongside Geoff Will’s famous gourmet hot dogs, will be available.

At 2:30 pm, join the blessing and planting of Shalom’s olive tree, followed by a labyrinth walk and music by Martin and Scott. To RSVP, scan the QR code or contact shalomcarcoar@gmail.com. If you wish to extend the celebration, stay for the Shalom Christmas Party starting at 5:30 pm with music and light refreshments.
