Marytown is embarking on a transformative journey to revitalize our Retreat Center, and we would like to extend an invitation for your support!

THE RETREAT CENTER, which has served as a haven for personal reflection, prayer, and renewal for countless individuals, needs a much-deserved renovation. These rooms have remained unchanged since the wing was originally built, and we believe that now is the perfect time to breathe new life into them. Our ambitious project aims to restore 35 retreat rooms to their original beauty, creating a prayerful and serene atmosphere for our guests.

To achieve our goal, we estimate that each retreat room’s renovation will cost approximately $5,000. This budget will cover essential upgrades such as :
•  Painting
•  Flooring
•  Lighting
•  Furniture
•  Plumbing
•  Hardware
•  Towels, sheets and other necessities.
•  And finally, each room will be imbued with a unique theme inspired by a Franciscan Saint, preserving the spiritual essence that our retreatants have come to cherish.
