Whether you want to be with a group or to be alone, to come for an hour, an afternoon, a day, a week or even a month, with a topic in mind or just a need to listen to your heart, the Cenacle can minister to you. The Sisters are trained to accompany you according to your particular desires, capacities and needs. The central element of the retreat in the Cenacle is your experience of God in the framework of prayer.



The Place of Love
The Cenacle Sisters take their name from the Upper Room (“Coenaculum” in latin) in Scripture (Acts 1:14). It is the place where Jesus instituted the Eucharist. It is where Mary and the disciples waited in prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit after the Ascension. It is where the mission of the Church began when the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost.

A Charism of Companioning
In the spirit of the first Cenacle, the Cenacle Sisters assist in the awakening and deepening of faith with and for the people of their time. Founded in France in 1826 by Saint Therese Couderc and Fr. Stephen Terme, the Congregation of Our Lady of the Retreat in the Cenacle has spread worldwide. Faithful to its founding grace, it embraces as its mission the call to make Jesus known and loved, through the ministry of retreats and spiritual direction, and other forms of spiritual apostolate.

A House of Prayer
From its beginnings in 1968, the Cenacle Retreat House has always been an oasis of peace and solitude in the midst of the city of Manila. Each Cenacle is, before all else, a House of Prayer, where the interests of the Church and persons are made the subject of continual intercessions. Whether in the context of a retreat, a spiritual direction session, a weekend program, or the enrollment of particular persons (living or deceased) in our Ministry of Prayer, the heart of the Cenacle is always prayer. Call or visit us for further information on how you can avail and/or share this gift of prayer.
