Our yearly retreat in Finland was directed this year by Fr. Andrew Ryder of the British-Irish Province. The retreat was in a beautiful place in Finland called "Stella Maris". It is about 60 km from Helsinki in the direction of Turku. The "Stella Maris" center is a retreat/camp center of the diocese of Helsinki.
