San Damiano Retreat

We are located in Danville, CA USA.

Since 1961, the Franciscan Friars of the Province of St. Barbara have welcomed to San Damiano those who thirst for a greater connection to God.  Our mission is to provide a peaceful environment of natural beauty where spiritual renewal and growth may be experienced by people of all faiths and backgrounds.  In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare, and guided by the Franciscan traditions of joy, hospitality, compassion, peace, and simplicity, we offer retreats and programs in response to the changing needs of God’s people.
