SOLANUS CASEY CENTER
Since 2002, this center has served as a spiritual oasis in the heart of Detroit reflecting the Franciscan spirituality of Blessed Solanus Casey, the humble Porter of St. Bonaventure. In life, Blessed Solanus Casey spoke in a soft and quiet voice to all who came to him for help. And he prayed. Some say his prayers cured illnesses. All say his serenity and counsel gave him peace. Since his death in 1957, his example continues to inspire others that the path to sainthood is open to all. Inspired by the life and example of Blessed Solanus Casey, this Center strives to be a place of pilgrimage, healing, reconciliation, and peace.
CAPUCHIN RETREAT CENTER

This beautiful park-like setting provides a fantastic respite from busy daily life. With a focus on the Spirit of the Franciscan tradition of hospitality and simplicity, the facilities include a dining hall, gorgeous walking trails, and gift shop.
