"Come apart and rest a while".
St. Clare Retreat Center will provide you a peaceful place to reflect surrounded by Nature.
Welcome
A retreat is like a spiritual spa for your soul ~ it is a special time of special graces!
Come to an out-of-the-way place where you can be alone with the God who loves you and lives within you!
Experience for yourself God's awesome love and peace. Take time for the infinite graces in the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion!
Listen to God's word through great retreat directors who share the truths of the Catholic Faith.
The opportunity for such a renewal of your spiritual life awaits you, too, at St. Clare's Retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains. A weekend spent in silence at this Franciscan retreat house can help you reestablish your values, deepen your joys, and realize again God's loving providence.
St. Clare's Retreat Center is operated by Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows, a Catholic community of Religious Sisters begun in China in 1939. The community fled communism in 1948 and began missionary ministries elsewhere, including California, Oregon, Canada, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
St. Clare's Retreat New Retreat Team members are Sister Regina, Sister Carol Ann, Sister Therese and Sister Joanne.
