The Franciscan Spiritual Center staff is available to host your spiritual program or to design one a customized program to meet your needs. The Franciscan Spiritual Center can accommodate group of up to 30 persons for daily retreats, or we can use a larger facility for bigger groups.

If your group (parish, church, club, family, or group) wishes a retreat or workshop, our creative, talented staff will meet with you, you can outline your needs, and we design the retreat/workshop! How easy it that? We have extensive experience designing numerous ecumenical retreats on many different topics. Our goal is to make is easy for you to have a quality, powerful experience that meet your needs.

We also offer half-day retreats where a person calls ahead to schedule hours at the Center for spiritual refreshment that may include a spiritual direction session, a massage, meditation time, walking the labyrinth, journaling, watching a video and/or reading.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled retreat, we can design an "at home retreat" for you. You will meet with a staff member for one-hour as preparation for your "at home retreat", take time at home to experience your retreat, and close your period of reflection with an hour of Spiritual Direction to process your individual mini-retreat.

"I couldn't believe how easily our Women's Retreat fell together! The planning process was fantastic and the end result was perfect! I met once with Center staff to share our needs, goals and a retreat format. When the weekend came, the Retreat was clear, concise, and supported with great handouts. It touched all who attended. Each woman felt her faith was deepened because of this experience."
