Blessed Ortolana Building Addition Campaign
Below is a rendering of the new addition we are planning at the Saint Clare of Assisi Retreat Center called “Blessed Ortolana.” Ortolan is the mother of Saint Clare so we feel like this is the perfect name for our new proposed addition! 
The new addition will add 17 semi-private rooms along with a new meeting space which includes a separate room designated for reconciliation called the Padre Pio room.
Our current configuration only allows for sleeping in five large rooms. This new addition will allow for more private sleeping accommodations, which is needed for many retreats that require private reflection. Our goal is to raise $750,000. We have currently raised over $400,000 in contributions and pledges! Thanks so much to all who have helped in this effort!

Saint Clare of Assisi Operations Funds Needed
The Saint Clare of Assisi Retreat Center is supported 100% by volunteers. There are no paid positions! We have lots of fixed costs from year to year that must be paid in order to run the retreat center – flood insurance, inspections, heating and cooling, and internet, just to name a few. Our operations costs currently run around $50,000 per year. In order to offer low-cost retreats and to be a donation-only facility, we need your support. Many people donate through their time and talent so generously. But the basic bills we have from month to month can only be met through treasure.
If you would like to make a donation (one time or recurring) to help defer the costs of the retreat center, please go HERE.
