A Special Celebration in the Year of Saint Francis
This reopening holds particular significance as the Church commemorates the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis of Assisi's death in 2026.
Inspired by his humble witness and love of Christ, the St. Francis Spirituality & Retreat Center seeks to continue as a place where individuals and groups can step away from the noise of everyday life—to pray, listen, rest, and rediscover the peace of Christ.
