The Franciscan Spirituality Center is dedicated to anyone seeking God, meaning and wholeness. Rooted in the Gospels and sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, the Franciscan Spirituality Center is open to everyone. It is a safe, sacred place of simplicity and hospitality for those seeking spiritual renewal, healing and deeper self-awareness. We welcome people of all faiths to come to learn and experience Franciscan spirituality by discovering God in all creation.

We offer preached retreats, guided retreats and space for individually directed retreats. We also offer an innovative three-year Spiritual Direction Preparation Program.

Facilities include bookstore, woodland retreat hermitages (individual use), lending library, meeting rooms and bedrooms.

We are located near the Mississippi River and surrounded by beautiful bluffs. Our building is conveniently located in the heart of La Crosse, with access to the historic Mary of the Angels Chapel at St. Rose Convent and an outdoor labyrinth.

Spiritual direction (compassionate listening) is available upon request. We have several trained spiritual directors on staff.

We offer outreach programming to faith institutions, nonprofit groups and businesses. Retreats/programs include mindfulness practices, yoga, iconography, creative expression, Enneagram, serenity, recovering from shame messages and our annual marriage celebration.

Come as you are! Experience peace and transformation. All are welcome.
