Franciscan Spirituality
Many are enchanted by the life of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. These
retreats are created for those who wish to learn more about the Franciscan
Movement. Filled with Gospel Joy, these Saints of old, invite us also to be
filled with the same kind of Joy. Using the writings of Francis and Clare along
with Sacred Scripture and writings of other spiritual writers will add new
meaning and deeper insight to our Spiritual life. I hope that you will join me
on this journey of Spiritual Renewal.

Religious Life
Religious Life has radically changed over the years for both the young and
well-seasoned person. Our time together will invite us to look at our history,
review the present day and encourage us to “walk in hope” toward a future that
is uncertain. Design for both men and women religious, I encourage you to
consider these retreats for your community. Remember each retreat is
“tailor-made” keeping your charism at the very heart of our time together.

Sacred Scripture
Scripture is truly a “Lamp Onto Our Feet.” As a people who walk by faith, I
would like to invite you to walk with me through the Scriptures. We will explore
the stories of the Bible that reveal to us the unconditional love of our God.
Sharing our insights will add to the texture of each individual while we enjoy
the intimacy of the Holy Word of God that gives us life abundantly.

Healing Retreats
Time set aside to revisit some of the scars that have been inflicted or are
being inflicted by a friend, family member, a neighbor, or by a church member.
We are all wounded. We have all sinned. This “sacred time” will be touched by
the hand of the Master Healer. An Anointing Service and Time for Reconciliation
will help the individual to begin again! If you are enduring the pain or have
caused the pain, Retreat Today, and be healed.

The Canticle of Creation Series
Evaluating the Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon, a poem is composed by
St. Francis of Assisi. In this day and age as we are "thinking green", this
meditation will help us have a deeper respect for our environment and our
responsibilities towards global concerns.
Retreats are “Tailor-Made” to meet specific requirements!
