A Message From Our Director
August 31, 2020
As we come to the end of August, we have still not been able to determine when we will resume retreats at St. Anne. After consultation with the Bishop, the Vicar General, Father Ryan Maher, we believe we will most likely not be back in full operation until after the first of the year. We all have been impacted by the Corona Virus in ways we couldn't have anticipated. However, the safety and well being of the people who visit here is the most important aspect that we must keep in mind. The timeline could change if things improve, but until then, we will remain closed to outside groups.
This does not mean that we stop spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and the hope that springs forth from his love. With that in mind, we are in the process of developing some virtual retreats that will bring some much needed spiritual refreshment in this desert we are all traveling through. I am working on the development of a YouTube channel that will make these retreat available in addition to our website. We hope to have that up and running in the month of November. In the meantime, we continue to ask for your prayers and support.
We have also been working extensively on projects here that have brought enhanced beauty to the Retreat Center. As we finish those, I will be posting pictures here on the website for you to view. This downtime has given us an opportunity to make some improvements here that have long been needed. My staff continues to put their best efforts into making this place even more beautiful.
We ask that you be patient with us as we are have all been asked to be during this uncertain time. As soon as we have some solid guidelines to go by, we will contact each group scheduled. Until then, we can only pray that this pandemic be lifted and through the mercy of God protect the most vulnerable among us.
May God bless you during this challenging time and please let us know how we can help.

Update 10-7-2020
I recently posted on our Facebook page that we were shutting down that page. This is the result of a recent documentary I saw called "/the social dilemma" that is currently showing on Netflix. It was a frightening expose of how social media is having an enormous negative impact on our society and in particular our young people. At that point, I decided I would not contribute to that anymore even though we were posting positive material on our page. I showed the documentary to my staff and they were completely in agreement with me. That's why all future communication will come from this website exclusively along with the Messenger. Your data is being used for nefarious means and I will not contribute to that any longer. Please watch the documentary and I especially encourage you to watch it with your children or even grandchildren. All of you have to do to confirm the information in the documentary is look at what's happening in our nation and around the world. We need to talk, face to face, person to person and not shout at each other through a platform that encourages said shouting. Unplug and get back to the basics. God has given us a beautiful world even in the pandemic, get out and see and experience the gifts He has so generously given to us.
