Capuchin Retreat

62460 Mt. Vernon Road

Washington MI 48094

"Cap Retreat" has a different theme every year. 2010 theme:

"The Lord is Near."

Do you ever wonder where God is in the messiness of everyday life? How can God be near with so much sin, corruption, and despair? How do we encounter God in these experiences and also in moments of joy, peace, and love?

We will examine the four dimensions of our lives: Self, Significant Relationships, Societies, and Non-Human Creation.

95 acres of meadows, gardens, and lakes. Renew your spirit and encounter God in the peaceful charm of nature. Borders with Stony Creek Nature Center and miles of wooded trails through unspoiled beauty.
