Rebuild My Church Discernment Retreats
Our weekend vocation retreats take their name from an encounter St. Francis of Assisi once had with the Lord. While kneeling before the San Damiano Crucifix, the saint heard the voice of Jesus say, "Francis... rebuild My church which, as you see, is in ruins... " Join the friars for a time of prayer, fraternity, reflections on the Capuchin Franciscan spirituality and charism, as well as visits to our ministries among the poor in our local community.
San Damiano Friary Visit
