Franciscan Renewal Center

Thank you for your interest in leading a program or retreat at the Franciscan Renewal Center.

The Franciscan Renewal Center has been blessed to have offered over a thousand programs and retreats on our campus and to have enriched the lives of tens of thousands of individuals. Some of our programs and retreats are led by friars and staff members in our counseling, liturgy, programs and faith in action ministries. Many more are led by individuals outside of the immediate Casa family - people we hope come to think of themselves as part of the extended family.

Choosing which programs and retreats to offer is more of an art than a science, but with all our experience, we have developed a selection process that serves us well.

Our criteria for choosing programs and retreats is based on:

2. Our experience of "what works" for the communities we serve.

3. The things we do best. (We must pass on many great programs because they are not our area of focus or expertise. If your program is well-served by social service agencies or special interest groups, consider whether they may be a better fit than the FRC.)

4. Whether or not the program leader will be able to fill a significant part of the class/retreat through their own marketing efforts (or name recognition).

If you feel your program or retreat might be a fit, please click on this link and fill out the submission form.
(The link will open in a new window/tab.)

Your submission will be carefully reviewed. Submissions are reviewed once or twice a quarter so you will get a response within 90 days, if not sooner.

You will get a confirmation message on your screen when you submit your form. That means it has been processed and we have received it.
