The new Avila centre opened in late November 2006. The focus in the new centre is on day retreats and courses. There is accommodation for self-catering retreats with eight en-suite rooms and two hermitages. Spiritual accompaniment is available from community members.

Avila is also home to two Secular Order groups and a thriving Charismatic Prayer Meeting. The Prayer Meeting has been in existence since the 70s and attracts a large number of people for its Wednesday night (8.00 p.m.) meeting. For more about it, please visit the meeting website - Avila Charismatic Prayer Meeting
