The mission of the Franciscan Renewal Center is to be a Christ-centered place that provides the environment and resources for God to work through people.

This Catholic community, formed by Franciscan tradition and values, is rooted in Sacred Scripture and united in the worship of God through liturgical celebration and prayer, private and communal. Grounded in the Gospel concepts of peace, justice and human dignity, we are committed to living the Gospel through education, healing and hospitality, social action and contemplative experience.
