We attempt to live out of the Baptismal covenant that says
"...Strive for justice and peace among all people,
and respect the dignity of every human being."

Our Retreat Center provides a nurturing desert setting for weekend retreats for various groups. We have welcomed. among others,  Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Buddhist monks.

We have a long-standing tradition of being hospitable to 12-step recovery meetings and currently have related groups meeting regularly on the property. In addition, a painting class meets on Wednesday mornings at 9 a.m.

The Center is capable of sleeping 50-plus people and is available for both day use and/or overnight accommodation. We are wheelchair accessible. In addition to Stephen’s House, we also have ‘the Cottage’ and a modular sleeping unit.

Frederickson Hall located in the lower courtyard area, is a large meeting room that accommodates up to 120 people as well as adjacent areas for break-out groups.

Persons using the facilities are welcome to meet either indoors or on our outdoor ramada patio area. Quiet contemplation is available in any of the garden areas. Our Sanctuary is available for worship when not in use by the parish.

Volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a children's playground are the recreational opportunities available for guests.
