Immaculata Retreat Center prepares for new opening
|
|
It’s been a long vigil in cramped quarters – maintaining contacts, booking retreats for the coming year and overseeing the details of the actual building project.
The contours of the new facility are rapidly coming into focus. The new 3 story wing which will house most of the retreatants’ rooms rises gracefully in the midst of the larger retreat house complex.
Interior work is progressing at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, the Staff is meeting regularly to lay-out the various components of the retreats that will inaugurate Immaculata’s first season as a completely renovated/refurbished retreat facility.
We will open on April 13th by hosting 2 separate groups of retreatants; they will fill our 73 room facility and allow us to observe the new plant running at maximum efficiency.
