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 three nights of accommodation (Nov. 13, 14 & 15) in a room with two queen beds.

  • Check-in: 4:00 pm
  • Check-out: 10:00 am

All meals are covered thanks to the ATS Organizational and Educational Models Project funded by Lilly Endowment Inc..
