The friars from around the Province of St. Joseph invite you to join them as they pray the rosary and reflect on the role of St. Joseph in Salvation, in this Year of St. Joseph proclaimed by Pope Francis.
Mass
Starting Wednesday, June 9, join the Capuchin Franciscans for Mass outside on the front lawn every Monday through Friday at 8:00 am. Note that there is no Sunday Mass offered at Capuchin Retreat at this time. We ask the faithful to worship at their home parish on Sundays.

COVID-19
In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Capuchin Retreat is operating with a reduced capacity for in-person retreats and programs. The grounds of the retreat center are open to enjoy. We ask that those visiting the grounds check in at the front desk. In compliance with Michigan guidelines, face coverings are required to be worn in the Retreat House and at Mass, unless fully vaccinated.
