Capuchin Retreat Center in Washington, Michigan

The Capuchin Retreat Center is tucked away in Washington, Michigan about 40 miles north of Detroit. The Capuchin Retreat Center is perfect for anyone seeking intimacy with God. The Capuchin Retreat Center offers retreats, the Sacraments, spiritual direction, and spiritual events throughout the year.

It has been our experience that the friars and their staff are true to the teachings of the Catholic Church. The friars that run the Capuchin Retreat Center are extremely humble and they have a beautiful spirituality.

Retreats

Retreats are offered throughout the year for men, women, couples, children, teen, and religious. Typically, retreats are are offered on the weekends. They do offer mini-retreats such as Morning Reflections and Evening Series or week-long retreats. My husband Michael and I have been attending their couples retreat every year and we find it incredibly fruitful for us and our marriage. We find the speakers on the retreat do a great job of presenting the material in a way that speaks to each person in their spiritual life and they leave the rest to the Holy Spirit to do His work.
