The four retreat center Boards associated with our retreat centers in Detroit, Houston, Sierra Madre and Citrus Heights, CA, are convinced that clarity about the Passionist charism and mission, especially in the context of retreat center ministry, is vital to the success of new structures. For all who are engaged in Passionist retreat center ministry, the Boards hope that the “Spirit Document” (see downloadable PDF below) is a first word and an invitation to probe deeply the rich spiritual and pastoral heritage of that ministry.
