Franciscan Spirit and Life Center
(Pittsburgh)

A Ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis
of the Providence of God
Guided by the Franciscan traditions of joy, hospitality, compassion, peace and simplicity, we offer contemporary retreats and programs in response to the changing needs of God’s people.
The Center also welcomes groups who want to facilitate their own meetings, retreats or workshops. Whether you are planning a one-day workshop or a week-long conference, we will help you make your gathering a success.
