"The most generous choices, especially the persevering, are the fruit of profound and prolonged union with God in prayerful silence."

- Saint John Paul II

OUR MISSION

We believe that God wants to be present to each of us in a most profound way. 

 

We believe that the "noise" of the world is making it more and more difficult for us to hear Him and allow space for Him.

 

Scripture says that: “He would withdraw to deserted places to pray.” (Luke 5:16)

 

We believe we have been called to provide a place of silence, solitude, and simplicity where Catholic religious, laity, and those of sincere faith can empty themselves of the world's distractions and be filled with Him.

 

We invoke the constant intercession and protection of St. Joseph, who has been instrumental in every step of this vision and mission. Our prayer is: “Saint Joseph, father, man of silence, who was always present and obedient to God, we ask you to intercede for every retreatant who comes, that in this silence they may encounter the Father’s Heart.”

Patris Corde Employment Opportunities

As we move toward opening, Patris Corde is seeking a full-time maintenance staff member. This person would help with continued construction as well as the consistent maintenance needs of caring for buildings and 250 acres of grounds. A strong faith, skill working with hands, and a willingness to move to Grand or Summit County would be desired. Finally, we are also seeking a part-time administrative staff member (option to work remotely) who would help with administration as well as phone support for booking retreats, etc. If you or anyone you know would be interested in sharing this mission long-term, please email John@PatrisCorde.org.
