Dear Brothers and Sisters of Our Mother of Perpetual Help,

We're starting our Holiday 2025 Fundraising Appeal now, and we need your help!

Our life and ministry continues to grow stronger. We have been celebrating the renewal of the heart of the Redemptorist Retreat Center, the newly renovated Holy Redeemer Chapel. Groups and individuals have shared their feelings about the significant impact of the refreshing surroundings they have found there.

And with your help, we can continue to carry out our mission of offering rest, renewal and respite to those attending retreats here, while also proclaiming the word of abundant, redemptive love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!

This is where we must ask for your help. It is time to make another urgent request. For those who help us regularly, thank you. Your generosity is encouraging.

At the same time, it’s no surprise to anyone that increasing costs for goods and services are a fact of life. The impact of that reality has an impact on the Redemptorist Retreat Center. Some retreat centers have needed to raise their rates to the point where people can no longer afford to attend their programs and have closed. Simply raising rates for guests cannot be the only alternative. We continue to face the need to cover our expenses to provide a just wage for our staff, to maintain 40 acres of property and the Center's 9 buildings, and meet expenses for capital improvements (expected and not expected). Please donate what you can this holiday season, and encourage your friends and family to donate as well!

Remember to keep us in your prayers. All our benefactors, especially you, are certainly in our prayers.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help… Pray for us! 🙏🏻

And from everyone at the Center, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, happy and blessed Christmas!

Gratefully yours in the Redeemer,

Father Ted Lawson, C.S.s.R.

Director, Redemptorist Retreat Center
