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.
