HOLY ANNUNCIATION RETREAT

Understanding the dire reality of  the state of  the Church and the state of  society today, we firmly believe that the most effective solution to these problems is to foster Holiness in the faithful, a Holiness which is only possible by and through a life of  prayer. 

Many today seek to flee the world and gather together in small communities to get away from it all (Benedict Option), but if  we Catholics do that, we who have received Holy Confirmation, do that, then how will those who are so lost today ever find the living God and their ultimate salvation?

Christ, our Lord, has told us to “go and preach the Gospel to all nations.”.

All who are members of  the Body of  Christ are called to this.

The number one way we are called to evangelize is simply by living holy lives and doing our duty where we are in the world. 

This is why we want to build a place of  prayer and retreat so that you have a place to come to, where you can be received and supported spiritually.

The project is quite simple. We know that times are hard and money is tight, so we have decided to try and accomplish this goal in the most economical way possible, starting with using the trees on the property and building with traditional timber frame construction and old wattle & daub infill.

It is this piece of land which we will develop in three sections. 

First, there will be a monastic building for men and a prayer chapel, with meeting areas for the faithful.

Just below this area, there will be the main lodge which should house roughly 40 persons with a kitchen and dining area that will also serve to host conferences, etc.

The third area will be for families. Often families have very little opportunity to attend to the spiritual life by way of  spiritual retreats due to a lack of  suitable accommodations for the whole family.

For the love of  God and His most holy Mother, please support us. 

In all, we believe that we can do this project with 2 million dollars. 

We do not want to exhaust resources on extravagance but desire modesty, austerity, and a place suitable for members of  the Church Militant at prayer.
