At IL RITIRO Franciscan Retreat Center we believe our relationship with God, ourselves, and all creation is rooted in a God who loves us and creates us. In the Spirit of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, IL RITIRO offers a place of hospitality and respect for all people of faith. We create an environment that fosters a sense of connection with God through creation, beauty, ample time and space for prayer and contemplation.

Our name, IL RITIRO, means "little retreat". It is reminiscent of the Franciscan values of simplicity and humility.
