Franciscan Renewal Center in
Scottsdale, AZ – January 24-27
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.
Rates for accommodation will be released at the same time as the conference pricing. Accommodation will be based on a flat rate that covers from check-in, opening at 4 pm on Jan. 24, to check-out, at 10 am on Jan. 27. Most rooms have two queen size beds. All meals are included in your stay.
