Christian Formation

Ernescliff College also offers courses in Catholic Doctrine, spiritual direction, days of recollection, meditation (dedicated time for mental prayer led by Ernescliff’s Chaplain), spiritual retreats, and other activities of Christian formation for those interested. These activities are optional and open to those interested in participating. These take place every Saturday at Ernescliff, before the One-Up activities.

Activities of Christian formation at Ernescliff College are entrusted to Opus Dei, an institution in the Catholic Church that helps people find God in their everyday life.

These activities put into practice what is learned in the seminar sessions. They include sports, excursions, study days, movie productions, fundraisers, social service projects and engineering projects.
