A sanctuary for your Soul
Our vision is to provide a sacred space for you to connect to the inner Light which dwells in us and surrounds us. We would be honored to walk with you, support, and nurture your own personal transformation from the child of God you are to your fully human embodiment of Love itself. We pray Mount Saint Francis truly becomes a Sanctuary for your Soul.
Mount Saint Francis Center for Spirituality is founded on the traditions and charism of St. Francis of Assisi. Our primary ministry is the Center for Spirituality, which operates as a Retreat Center and provides opportunities for spiritual renewal to all God's people. We pray our unique Franciscan charism permeates every aspect of the gifts we offer and leaves our visitors with the desire to expand and enrich their spiritual journey. In the spirit of openness, the Mount is available to other organizations whose purpose is to encourage religious and human enrichment. All of this is brought to fruition in a context of respect for creation and life in all its forms.
