Welcome

Welcome to the website of Christ the King Passionist Retreat Center. Here we hope you will discover and begin to explore this sacred place in Citrus Heights, California. Since 1950 the Passionists and Christ the King Team have sponsored retreats, days of prayer and other spiritual programs to enable all those who are seeking a deeper relationship with God to experience His presence in the peace, beauty and wonder in this remarkable place.

It is a hidden jewel nestled in the center of Citrus Heights providing that place of quiet where people can slow down, forget the busyness of their day-to-day, and connect with the divine.

What is a Retreat?

A retreat is simply time away to be with the Lord. It is a deliberate movement into sacred space and sacred time, to BE rather than to do, to quiet down and rest our bodies, minds and souls. Retreat is YOUR time to focus on your relationship with God. Through conferences, prayer and solitude, we invite you to reflect more deeply on what God is doing in your life right now.

The retreat is conducted by the Retreat Team and includes both scheduled conferences and gatherings for prayer and Eucharist, along with personal time for rest and reflection. There is also the opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation and to meet with one of the retreat leaders, for those who wish. There will be times for silence and times for conversations. The retreat is primarily an experience for the individual that is shared in the company of others who desire to grow in their faith.

Thank you once again for a beautiful, inspirational, wonderful retreat weekend!

The Passionist's have a very human way of bringing the Lord to people through the passion, suffering, and death of the Lord.

The Passionist's have a very human way...

Not only to those on retreat but also by extension to all those who feel the love and peace we will pass on when we return home.

This center and the people in it are a gift!

This is the best Easter celebration that I have ever had. I have been touched, I have been changed.

Thank you all for a “true experience of the Risen Lord.”

They are very much in tune with the crucified of today, the people who are hurting. They take the love of Christ to them.

The passionists reach out to people, minister to them, and share their lives wheter a person is in their own life.

My tank is empty when I arrive and during my stay I fill up with premium.
