Los Angeles Retreat Center Community has released on online event calendar. Find it here!

For decades, the Los Angeles region has been home to leading retreat centers providing a place of rest for those in need of spiritual nourishment. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges it has posed to many, these centers have formed a collaborative program for the region – the Los Angeles Retreat Center Community (“LARCC”), offering online retreats as well as a variety of other ministries and programming. We invite you to explore this site of events and look forward to seeing you on our campuses.
In a continuing effort to pool resources for those in need of spiritual nourishment and solace, the Los Angeles Retreat Center Community has released on online event calendar. The calendar provides a simple guide to prayer meetings, retreats, and other spiritual activities held at each of the five centers. When asked about the importance of this calendar, Chris Machado of Holy Spirit Center said, “We believe this will provide a simple and up-to-date listing of activities for those in search of peace in their lives.”
Each center offers a wide variety of programs, catering to differing spiritual needs according to an individual’s faith or disposition. This should make it considerably easier for individuals or groups to find events and activities that best meet their needs. The calendar provides a listing of both online and onsite events and covers all of 2021. Details of events are available on the calendar and include links to sign up online or via telephone.

The Los Angeles Retreat Center Community offers spiritual renewal and discovery for those looking for a deeper relationship with God. The following are the current members of LARCC, offering a choice of locations, facilities, and programs to Los Angeles area residents that are convenient wherever they live and whatever their particular faith expression:
Holy Spirit Retreat Center – Encino
Mary & Joseph Retreat Center (Rancho Palos Verdes)
