Retreats | Family Weeks | Youth Events | Pilgrimage Craig Lodge Community We Are A Charity Craig Lodge Community is a group of people who have chosen to walk the path of holiness together through prayer, service and evangelisation in honour of Our Lady, Queen of Peace. Some of us are young people who commit for one year to grow in our faith and some of us live here permanently, independently, near Craig Lodge. Together we welcome people from all over the world to Craig Lodge Family House of Prayer. Guests are welcome to join in the daily prayer life of the Community – Divine Office, Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary and Praise & Worship. We are passionate about all our work: Family Life Ministry, Youth Events, School Missions and giving young people a life-changing experience of Community. We depend on the donations we receive from guests who come on retreat to fund all this work as well as keeping Craig Lodge up and running. Thank you for supporting us with your prayers and donations.
