My Year End Gift to Mater Dolorosa

“Such a special place for me. If you are having a hard time figuring-out what God’s plan is for you, spend a weekend         here and hear Him speak to you…”  A Retreatant

Please Scroll down to make your year end gift to Mater Dolorosa.

In the book of Hosea, God invites us “to come to the desert to pray and He will speak to our hearts.”  In the stillness of the sacred grounds of Mater Dolorosa, spirits are nourished with the solitude of silence, meditation and prayer.  For people of faith, like you and me, a weekend retreat is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

This past year more than 2,000 men and women experienced a renewal of their faith, the love of God and hope in their lives at their weekend retreat.  Many of them were able to attend because of your generous gifts.

We want to thank you and express our gratitude for your continued loyal support of the Passionist mission and ministry that enables us to offer weekend retreats and special programs to so many men and women year after year. You are a special member of the Mater Dolorosa family.

It is through your spirit of generosity that we welcome all who wish to hear the message of the Passion. That is why I humbly ask you to consider making a special year-end gift today of $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or whatever you can give.  You can take comfort in knowing that your gift has helped to transform the life of someone who is in need of God’s special grace.

The Passionist Community, the staff and the Board of Directors who work to serve you, our Mater Dolorosa Family, join me in thanking you for your generous support and love.

May your family be filled with joy and love during the beautiful seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas.  You remain in our prayers.

P.S.  For tax purposes, year-end donations must be received in the Retreat Center Office, postmarked, or made online no later than December 31, 2016.
