It was a wonderful peaceful retreat where I was able to reconnect with the psalms. Father Steve did a great job guiding us deeper into psalms and their meaning.
SPSPC is a beautiful secluded location where you can spend time with God and nature. The facilities clean and well furnished. There is an extensive library of books available to use while there.
The food was good with a variety of options. The dining room was not as quiet as I would have preferred due to other groups that were using the facility.

Very good experience, comfortable. Would encourage better separation of silent and non-silent groups.

We had a relaxing, but productive time. It was a great place for our group to meet to as our members come from NC and also out of state. This is the third year we have returned to St Francis Springs. We even added an extra night and day this year. The staff at St Francis Springs are so kind and caring. The food was great and each meal home made. Thank you Steve and staff!

Gillian Ahlgren, our leader, was well organized and knows the subject well, Faces of Metanoia. This was my third retreat at this center which is absolutely peaceful and beautiful. I have done 2 silent retreats there. My only suggestion is to serve breakfast beginning at 7:00 am and to start the program at 3:30 on the first day.
