WelcomeA retreat is like a spiritual spa for your soul ~ it is an anointed 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!
The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows are delighted to welcome you to St. Clare’s Retreat ~ an oasis of peace, silence and solitude for all those seeking to nurture a life of prayer and respond to Jesus’ invitation to “come apart and rest awhile.”
COVID-19 Closure & St. Clare's Needs
The Sisters at St. Clare’s Retreat are praying for a quick resolve to the COVID-19 shutdowns and that everyone remains safe and healthy. Due to the Diocesan and State/ County precautions and mandatory renovations required by the County, St. Clare’s Retreat has suspended holding all live retreats until the end of the year 2020.
However, we do have a couple of virtual retreats.
Pray for UsOur most urgent need is to obtain the necessary building permit from the Santa Cruz County Building Department so that the mandated work can be completed in the retreat house kitchen and dining room. We cannot reopen until the sinks and dishwasher are hooked up again. We, your Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows, are so grateful for your prayers!
May God reward you richly! Know that you remain in our prayers!
