What a wonderful surprise to find such a beautiful retreat center in my own neighborhood. I am a local pastor, and in the early spring I was looking for a peaceful getaway for a study retreat. I hoped to find a place where I could have silence and solitude without feeling entirely isolated. I found such a balance at the Franciscan Spiritual Center, where I was able to enjoy quiet study in my lovely little room, as well as refreshing fellowship with the staff as we shared midday meals and interacted in the kitchen and common rooms. As a retreatant, I felt entirely welcomed; more than welcomed--I felt blessed. As I read, wrote, prayed, painted, and drew, I knew the FSC staff were praying that I would feel renewed in Gods presence. The staff, the books on the bookshelves, the framed prayers in my room, and the art in the hallways, all spoke a message of peace and wholeness. I expect to return soon for a day retreat or class, and will plan my next study retreat at the Franciscan Center.
