Quiet & Peace
In the midst of a noisy, busy world, we seek to provide a space of quiet and peace, where reflection on one’s life in its relation to God is possible.

St. Anne Retreat Center Closed Until April 15th

Since issues surrounding the virus are still largely unknown, the Diocesan Task Force on the Corona Virus has agreed that it is in the best interest of our people who come here to close the Retreat Center until April 15th. If you have a scheduled event during that time frame, we will work with to reschedule your event or we will gladly refund your deposit. This was not a hard decision to make given the current environment. We regret any inconvenience this may cause but the safety of our guests is our first concern. 

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Deacon Dave or Karen Little at (859) 441-2003. Please pray for those who are battling this virus and let's all pray for a quick resolution to this pandemic. We trust in God's mercy. 
Catholic Cafe and Basic Philosophy are Moving!
Both Catholic Cafe and Philosophy are moving effective February 1 to Holy Spirit Parish. We will be meeting in the school across the street from the Parish. Classes will be held on the 3rd floor right next to the elevator. The reason for the move is to help generate greater growth in these 2 programs. While they have been well attended here, the feeling is that we can grow even more by having a central location. This is a joint partnership between St. Anne Retreat Center and Holy Spirit Parish. The times will not change. Catholic Cafe will meet on Monday mornings from 9:30 to 11:00 and Philosophy will meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 9:00 to 11:00. We hope to more people come to these 2 deeply focused programs built around our Catholic faith.
