In the early 1990s, Marello Youth Retreat Center was but a vision in the eyes of the Oblates of St. Joseph. They imagined a retreat center that would provide opportunities for pre-teens, teens and young adults to gather together to build upon their relationship with God.
Nearly 10 years later, their vision became a reality. In October 2002, the Oblates of St. Joseph celebrated the grand opening of Marello Youth Retreat Center. Today, they invite youth groups, parish youth ministries, Catholic schools, Catholic Faith Formation programs, and all youth to consider this special place as a location to venture away from the everyday – a place to find themselves and God.
