Maryville Retreat Center

Our coordinator, Tori Fedora, spent time at Maryville Retreat Center getting acquainted with the beautiful lakefront campus that will welcome Seeds of Hope participants again July 10-17, 2027. 🍂🛶

Tori also made the rounds of some meaningful Felician sites in the area. She visited Deo Gratias and the Felician Heritage Center, where Sr. Andrew gave her a tour.

We can't wait for another summer of servant leadership, friendship and faith in this special place!
