Rooted in the Passionist charism of proclaiming Christ Crucified, St. Paul of the Cross Passionist Retreat & Conference Center in Detroit, Michigan, remains a place of prayer, reflection and renewal. For generations, it has welcomed people to encounter hope and deepen their faith.

In the latest news from St. Paul’s, that same spirit continues, offering hospitality, compassion and meaningful opportunities to experience God’s presence today.
Supporting Our Migration Coalition Partners
Continuing our walk with the crucified, St. Paul’s is collecting donations for our Migration Coalition partners. Siena Literacy Center, founded by the Adrian Dominican Sisters, provides effective education programs for adults seeking to improve their ability to successfully meet the challenges of everyday living by learning foundational skills.
Siena Literacy Center is in need of:
- New/used backpacks
- Hygiene items (toothbrushes/paste, soap, razors, feminine products)
- Baby formula
- Gift cards (Walgreens, CVS)
- New/used bikes
- Tutors! Sign up to volunteer
Thank you for supporting this initiative and for living out the Passionist charism as we walk with the crucified!
