Celebrating our 10th Anniversary!

Thank you to the 100+ guests who joined us for a wonderful weekend with Bishop Steven Biegler.  Check out photos of the Beatitudes Retreat here!

Most of our jobs–whether we work for the church or in the business world–have some degree of administrative work involved in them.  We often talk about this aspect of our work with some distain: It takes us away from the work that we most want to be doing!  But opportunities for spiritual growth abound, even in the most unexpected of places.  Join us June 9-10, 2022 for this uplifting, and sure to be humorous, workshop!  Find out more and register here.

Tentatively scheduled for December 9-11, 2022, Dr Mary Heal will wrap up our year of celebration with a weekend of learning more about encountering Jesus, experiencing His Love and embracing His Gift through Scripture. Registration information coming summer of 2022! Find out more here.

Our day of celebration included Exposition at 8:30am. Adoration throughout the day. Benediction at 4:30pm

Bishop Peter Muhich celebrated Mass at 5:30pm in Holy Cross Chapel. A reception followed in the retreat center. The reception was made possible through a generous donation from Our Lady of the Black Hills parish in Piedmont.

We are so grateful for the gifts we have received . . . from the generosity of the Sisters of St Martin Monastery that made Terra Sancta possible, to the donations of time and financial resources from thousands of people who have kept this gift from God alive and thriving during the past 10 years.

Join us on Tuesday, September 27, as we spend the day in prayer and thanksgiving in Holy Cross Chapel beginning at 8am with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.  St Elizabeth Ann Seton will join us in prayer during the school day.  Following 10 hours of Adoration, Benediction will take place at 6pm.
