With over one million copies sold in 24 languages, Fr Jacques Philippe’s writings on themes such as prayer, interior freedom, and peace of heart have become classics of modern Catholic spirituality.

For 10 days in Sydney, Fr Jacques will lead weekend and day retreats and engage in public lectures. This will be Fr Jacques second time in Sydney, his first visit being in 2014, also hosted by the Vocation Centre. Fr Jacques’ last visit was received with an overwhelming response, with every event booked out.
