Strategic Visioning

Before I came here, prayer felt like a recitation. Now it feels like a conversation.

This is the place to go to experience God as Love and I am so grateful to have it as a haven for recharging each week!

I'm not even Catholic anymore, but I really loved the atmosphere here.

Some Catholic churches feel judgmental from the second you walk in the door, while others have no sense of community. Neither of these things is true about the Franciscan Renewal Center.

…This is utterly sumptuous, and the “Healing Garden” is so aptly named!

So quiet and the grounds are beautiful, tranquil and peaceful.

The labyrinth is very centering and a great resource in the valley.

It tells you a lot when your kids complain about going to church until they hear that we are going to the Casa…then I get no complaints!

“I was at a crossroads in my life’s journey. I was moving from one way of life to another. The atmosphere of the retreat center allowed the inner voice of my creator to speak to me and help me prepare for the changes to come.”

“The beauty of the Franciscan Renewal Center begins in the hearts of the people who serve there.”

“The Franciscan Renewal Center has fed me spiritually and emotionally for more than 20 years. I am grateful for the quality of life I’ve grown into and feel so blessed…”

“The staff, especially the Grounds people, are so pleasant, helpful and respectful.”
