Donations made that are designated for a particular project must be used only for that project.

Due to your generous designated donations, we are presently undertaking County of Santa Cruz mandated renovations to our retreatant kitchen and dining room. We are praying that this fully upgraded kitchen that will be in compliance with strict county standards is completed in a timely manner.

During the shutdown, we have also made use of the time to install a much-needed new flat roof over the breezeways between buildings.

And we are complying with county mandates regarding two irrigation wells that needed to be destroyed. Thanks be to God and thanks to our volunteer project manager.  We got the wells desctruction for $12,000, not $50,000 (the orginal bid).

As a result, St. Clare’s Retreat is a bee hive of activitywith hammers hammering, saws sawing, and plumbers plumbing! All for the glory of God and for the enhancement of your retreat experience!
