Twilight Retreats

Psalm Book - 1751 on display in museum

In order to encourage the spiritual life of the people of God, the Mission San Luis Rey Retreat Center offers Twilight Retreats once a month on a Wednesday evening. We will begin with Mass in the Historic Mission Church at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner in the Retreat Dining room.

The Presentation will begin about 7:30 p.m. and last for about one hour. Topics and presenters vary monthly. The minimum suggested donation for the dinner and presentation is $20.00-$25.00.

A donation at the door will be collected for those attending the presentation only. For more information, call the Retreat Center at (760) 757-3659, and watch for upcoming announcements in future bulletins.

Private Retreats & Meetings

The Franciscan Retreat Center at Mission San Luis Rey is a place for solitude, healing, wholeness, education and renewal. The facilities are available to any religious or educational group, non-profit organization, civic organization, company and corporation. We do, however, reserve the right to limit the use of our facilities to those whose philosophies diametrically oppose our mission and purpose.

The Retreat Center is also available to private individuals who would like a time of solitude for spiritual renewal.
