Mount St. Francis Retreat Centre is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where are all welcome in the name of Christ. We offer silent retreats and spiritual direction. We also serve those in the 12 Step Program through weekend and evening Serenity retreats. The Franciscan Friars of Canada, inspired by the vision and example of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, have served here since 1949. The ground are situated on approximately 500 acres, the retreat centre provides occasion for retreatants to enjoy the beauty of the foothills, with a view overlooking the Rocky Mountains. Trails, pathways and the two outdoor Stations of the Cross allow opportunities for reflection and celebration of God’s creative handiwork. There is a small replica of the first St. Mary’s Church in Cochrane near the Franciscans’ cemetery. The property extends down to Big Hill Creek to the north and the top of Big Hill to the south.
