Men Discussing Catholic Silent Men's Retreats at Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center in Prior Lake MN.
Our Men’s Catholic Retreats provide an opportunity for men to gather together to focus on their spiritual lives. Men have been a strong presence at Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center from the beginning, and continue to bring their solid faith, love of the Church and faithfulness to the Gospel message to the retreats they attend here.
The Conventual Friars of Our Lady of Consolation Province are your hosts at Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center. The peace and natural beauty of our facility nestled in sixty acres of woods, prairie grass and a pond beckon you from the cares of daily life to a place of quiet reflection, learning and growth. Recharge mentally, Spiritually and physically during your stay.
Although we are a Catholic Retreat center, we welcome spiritual seekers from all faith walks. Catholic in nature, we offer Christian Retreats that can be enjoyed by all.

The liturgies were meaningful, well chosen – Catholic & spiritual; the homilies added more insight
to the retreat theme. I felt the Anointing of the Sick helped me.
The time here has been healing. Truly my spirit gives thanks to our God for this time
The retreat conferences were excellent. So much food for thought and nourishment for the soul.
Lots to take into prayer and on my daily faith walk.
The blend of scheduled time to free time is just right. It allows me to reflect, refresh and recharge my
soul to put extra bounce in my step!
