Discovery House – The Vision of the Designing of the Rooms


Discovery House rooms were designed to be useful and appropriate for all the different aspects of Discovery retreats, as well as retreats and activities of those who use the House, sacrificing the aesthetics, making the rooms functional, spiritually inviting, and physically comfortable, as well as appropriate and significant for spiritual growth and development healing those at the House, involving not just food for the body but also for the spirit.

We look at the house holistically -- the rooms, the people experiences, the prayers, the history and dreams complement each other reminding us that none of us have it all together but together we have it all.   

As one writer has said, “We are not here to compete but to complete.”  When we see ourselves in that way, we become in a sense a human tapestry where our very background and history, stories and memories become fruit for the spirit.

As you tour the Discovery House through the next many stops, it is our hope that you will experience a deep appreciation for the many Saints that have blessed these sacred premises.
