FOSTERING AN ATMOSPHERE IN THE FRANCISCAN TRADITION
Holy Cross Retreat Foundation
OBJECTIVE
In 1981, a group of recovering alcoholics, anxious to make available to those who would follow after them the rich spiritual blessings they received during a retreat at Holy Cross, established a Foundation for the support of the Retreat Center. Reflecting with deep gratitude, a member of that group said, “The retreat which I made at Holy Cross not only saved my business but, more importantly, it restored to me my wife and family. ” Because of the generosity of these three great men — Riley Brown, Bill Burton and John Clifford — dividends from that Foundation have made it possible for us to improve the facility and complete many projects that would have been very difficult without the help of the Foundation. It is very obvious what good-hearted people can accomplish when they work together..
The Foundation was established as a Memorial To Fr. Owen de Silva OFM, the Founder of Holy Cross Retreats.
