Retreat Centers

Sacred spaces hosted by the Passionist family—places of prayer, rest, and renewal rooted in the charism of the Passion.

Celebrating 100 Years of Retreats at Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center

The first retreat at Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center was preached in 1926 beneath the shade of the beloved "old rubber tree," a Moreton Bay Fig that still stands on the property today. That first gathering in 1926 marked the beginning of a ministry that has transformed countless lives.
