We have re-opened, using advanced temporary buildings, for our dining room and kitchen. We resumed serving the community, other local and international groups and our retreatants, again on July 8, 2006, less than a month after the fire. .

In October of 2009, thanks to our donors, we were able to open the new St. Francis Retreat Center building.

We still need the financial support of the community, to complete our recovery. Checks can be made out to "Bring Back Saint Francis" and mailed to: P.O. Box 970, San Juan Bautista, CA 95045. Thank you for spreading the word throughout the greater community so they can help. As all of our records were lost, please send any group information to the above address or call Phone (831) 623-4234.

Donations can also be made through a secure online service (eTapestry), please click the button, to make your donation.
