Franciscan Hermitage Retreat


A silent retreat guided by Jeanne & Tony Walter, Members of the Secular Franciscan Order.

Thursday, February 29- Sunday, March 3, 2024

St. Francis of Assisi Hall

San Pedro Center offers opportunities for an experience of Franciscan Hermitage deeply rooted in the Franciscan tradition.

Francis would withdraw to a hermitage or place of solitude in order to be with the Lord. In silence he would spend time praying.

If you would like to experience this rhythm of solitude and quiet, you are invited to attend this retreat. After an orientation and talk on the Franciscan way of life on Thursday evening, the retreatant begins two and a half days of silence. Each day begins with Eucharist. The Divine Office is recited communally throughout the day and evening, and personal time with the Lord is spent in rest, personal prayer and enjoyment of the grounds & chapel.

The retreat begins at 6:00 pm Thursday and concludes with 10:00 am Mass on Sunday. Please eat dinner before arriving Thursday evening.

Includes private guest room and all meals Friday-Sunday.

Online registration has closed.
