The Opportunity for Giving

“Those who sincerely accept the Good News, through the power of this acceptance and of shared faith therefore gather together in Jesus’ name in order to seek together the kingdom, build it up and live it. They make up a community which is in its turn evangelizing.”

  • Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi

This quote, in a succinct and beautiful manner, summarizes the goal and the hope of Marello Youth Retreat Center. We seek to evangelize through a community of people who are, first and foremost, authentic and sincere in their acceptance of the Good News brought to us through Jesus Christ. We recognize, that the pursuit of evangelization can come by different means and in the spirit of wanting to welcome all forms of supporting evangelization, we have established a few different methods by which people can help. We hope you will consider supporting us by whatever means the Holy Spirit is calling you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Praise Jesus Christ, now and forever.
