Whether someone seeks a brief respite to refresh their body and mind or is searching for inner spiritual peace to draw closer to the Lord, the Retreat Center has been a sanctuary of compassion, hospitality, and hope.
But now, we face a critical challenge.
A Critical Need: Replacing Our HVAC System
Our nearly 60-year-old building, though patched and repaired countless times, can no longer sustain its aging heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. This vital infrastructure ensures a welcoming and prayerful environment for all who enter our doors—but it has reached the end of its life.
The cost of a new system—$1.5 million—has been an eye-opener. Yet we had no choice but to move forward, knowing this investment is critical to maintaining the comfort and tranquility that our retreatants deserve.
How You Can Make a Difference
Like St. Francis of Assisi, who begged for stones to rebuild the chapel of San Damiano, we, the Capuchin Friars, humbly ask for your support. Your generosity can ensure that the Capuchin Retreat Center continues to be a place of renewal for generations to come.
Every gift—no matter the size—brings us closer to this vital goal. Gifts will be placed in our San Damiano Fund, dedicated to supporting our building and program improvements.
Build a Legacy of Peace and Renewal
Your donation is more than a gift; it’s a lasting investment in the spiritual lives of those who come here to reconnect with God. Together, we can ensure that your children, grandchildren, and future generations will always find a place of solace and guidance on their journey of faith.
May the Lord bless and reward you for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you for helping us transform the lives of those we serve.
“A gift of any size will make a difference!”
