Franciscan Renewal Center in

Scottsdale, AZ – Nov. 13-16

The Franciscan Renewal Center was founded as a Catholic retreat, called Casa de Paz y Bien, by the Order of Friars Minor in 1951. Still affectionately referred to as the Casa, the Franciscan Renewal Center remains an active religious community that seeks to follow in the footsteps of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi.

The grounds and highly desirable location in the heart of Paradise Valley mean guests at the Casa are comfortably in the saddle between the best of Scottsdale and Phoenix. Mountain views, desert air, warm sunshine make any experience – on or off campus – a memorable one.

A number of individuals will be able to stay on campus for a flat rate of $300.

This rate covers from check-in, opening at 4 pm on Nov. 13, to check-out, at 10 am on Nov. 16. Rooms have two queen size beds. All meals are covered thanks to the ATS Organizational and Educational Models Project funded by Lilly Endowment Inc.. Hence, you have an “all-inclusive” stay for a total of $300.

*You will indicate your preference to stay on campus when registering for the conference. A separate “Room Registration” link will be sent to conference registerees who indicate their desire to stay on campus, on a first come (registered), first served basis.
