St Francis Springs Prayer Center is the most beautiful place for quiet, reflection and prayer. I visit for self imposed silent retreats staying in one of the well appointed hermitages. As well as I attend various retreats, I especially love the Icon Retreat. The food, staff and facility is excellent. I visit here frequently. I am so thankful for this retreat center.

I had the privilege of attending the Juneteenth celebration where I learned much more about the history of Juneteenth. The experience of going to different Stations of the Cross, reading the writings at each and sharing our thoughts and inspirations in the peaceful woods was deeply touching. Not only the words and sense of relationship with those in my small group but also seeing other small groups making that same brief spiritual journey created a sense of community although I knew very few people there. It was a joyful experience. The MEEK Squad music was enlivening and brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you to the staff and all in attendance for sharing this powerful celebration.

I ALWAYS have an amazing time every time I choose St. Francis. It is consistent. I know I am going to have a relaxing, prayerful time. I always meet someone new and I am blessed to see people I met there on another occasion. What I especially love is that I am now known by name. I would highly recommend St. Franchis and I no longer keep it to myself. One of my favorite spaces is the outdoor chapel and a close second favorite is the nature labyrinth!!! Thank you, St. Francis for creating these spaces. It is truly home away from home.

My 1st visit to the center for a self directed retreat. Amazing, modern & quiet facility on an equally quiet and peaceful woodland. Good food with special needs options. Gentle, quiet and friendly staff. High praise for the outdoor spaces for prayer and reflection(Gazebos, Chapels, Grottos, Labyrinths Walking Trails and more). Not the rustic cabin facility I was expecting. Wow!

St. Francis Springs was the ideal place for our Ignatian retreat. From the moment we first arrived, their hospitality was unmatched. We felt so welcome! The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the meals were delicious! And there were so many beautiful places for contemplation: the labyrinths, the stations of the Cross, the grottos, the waterfall, the chapels. It was all so conducive to a wonderful, contemplative time. Thank you so much to the people who make this place possible!
