Our vision at the Retreat Center is to open the minds and hearts of people who come here to

the possibilities for learning and experiencing the Franciscan Way of being in the world.

The Retreat Center team ensures guests

enjoy their stay. Joan Loyek is the go-to

person for everything from making sure our

meeting spaces get setup and meals are

served. Kaitlin Bandy, our Executive Chef,

and her team makes sure the meals are hot

and delicious. Ariana Quintero, in the front

office, keeps us cool. Always calm and

patient, Ariana meets people at the desk,

answers phone calls, and assists us greatly.

Kathryn Causee manages the outside groups

renting our center for meetings and retreats. Pat Julian manages the programs and retreats the Mission

puts on for the community.

Our teamwork reminds us of the story about two men riding through dense forest at a fair clip, each on

a different path. In one instant they almost collide. One calls out to the other, Where are you goingfor heavens sake? St. Francis calls back, Id go anywhere for heavens sake.

Thats us. Wed go anywhere and do anything for heavens sake, for our guests sake.

There are many opportunities for you and your loved ones to enjoy the Retreat Center. We welcome

high schools, 12-step groups, parish groups, and most any non-profit organization. Consider hosting

your next meeting or retreat at the center. Or, you might want to spend a night away from it all on a

Private Retreat. If you cant spend a night, you are welcome to join us on a Quiet Monday. Spiritual

Direction is also available. Please call for more information and to set an appointment.

For Lent, we are offering a Mini-Retreat on Ash Wednesday with Fr. Larry Dolan, OFM. The TriduumRetreat for Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday is with Fr. Matt Tumulty, OFM; overnight

and commuter options are available.

We hope you come see us soon!

their faith journeys all in a picturesque and tranquil environment less than three miles from the Pacific Ocean.

By Bill Pinella

A couple of months ago it was a non-descript closet.

Today its the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. The room

is yet another small, but very distinct and importantstep as the Serra Center continues on its

transformation trail from gathering center to the

main MSLRP worship area. The Blessed Sacrament

Chapel will be open on weekends and the Blessed

Sacrament will be reserved there between Masses.

If Lupe Rios was the project manager of this two-

month undertaking then Jenny Flynn was the chief

architect. The body of Christ had been in the

sacristy, Rios explained. But thats where the

priests come to change into their vestments. Itneeded to be in a holier, more sacred place than

that.

With his talented eye for design and color, Rios was responsible for painting all the stars on the ceiling. His

enthusiasm and leadership were key in moving this project forward, Flynn explained. And the staff from the

MSLRP shop who helped prepare the room for painting and installed all the tiles we could not have done this

without them.

I just let Lupe and Jenny go for it, Father Adrian said after the Sunday blessing, and I dont recall having

ever blessed a former closet, he added with a laugh. But its not a closet any longer. They did a very nice job

with limited space.

Of all the volunteers who helped, Jenny also received help and guidance from Linda Causee. She managed to

find us a beautiful and economical wood tabernacle - tabernacles are usually extremely expensive and this

wood one fit in beautifully with our designs, Flynn explained. And also the metal baroque crucifix that is hung

in the chapel. Linda has been consulted along

the way and helped with the initial planning.

Rios estimates the entire project cost $2,000.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone involved

negotiations were made to keep this cost low.

If you would like to make a donation to help

defray the costs of the project contact LupeRios at (760)547-0709.

Following is a list of believers who donated

their time and talents: Father Adrian Peelo,

OFM, Lupe Rios, Jenny Flynn, Linda Causee,

Lee Bickford, Javier Figueroa, Fidel Flores,

Juan Nava, Lupe Urquidez, Paciano

Rivadeneyra, Alice Vitug, Ita-Livi Suarez and

Charlene Borromeo.

Through a generous gift, the friars reconfigured the old Retreat Center Chapel into two chapels.

The St. Clare Chapel and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel will be utilized by both the Retreat Center

and the Franciscan School of Theology.

In keeping with the Missions aesthetic, wall motifs from the Historic Church were incorporated into

both chapels. Additionally the original chapel doors and stained glass were also utilized.

Peyri Court, located on the west side of the Historic

Church, is preparing for repair and renovation. This

project has several goals, mainly the repair and

restoration of the three historic fountains, the repair of

the courtyard floor for safety issues and the repair ofthe drainage system.

Funds for the restoration of the three fountains were

generously raised by the Questers. Additional funding

for the entire project was provided by the Heritage

Ball 2012 committees efforts and we have received

funding from a few grants and foundations.

We are proceeding through historical reviews and city permitting, continuing to work with architects,

historians and other experts to advance this project.

Peyri Court Update

(Mausoleum: above ground entombment)

Located in the Old Mission San Luis Rey Cemetery, the St. Clare mausoleum will have

only thirty spaces available. Even though construction has not yet started, it is already

almost 50% sold out!

This small, personal and intimate mausoleum is unlike anything you will find elsewhere;

most mausoleums are huge structures that hold hundreds of spaces. Not only is there

limited space available for purchase, this mausoleum faces the area known as the

Historic Cemetery in the shadow of our 200-year old Church.

Announcing the St. Clare Mausoleum

If you are interested in purchasing a space, please contact the cemetery office for an appointment:

Fresh off of our Epiphany celebration, the San Luis Rey fraternity of Secular

Franciscans will begin meeting for mass and communal prayer, in addition to our

monthly social gatherings and on-going religious formation. This will begin

March 2, 2014.

Our fraternity continues to grow, with new and vibrant members seeking to be a

part of our family. As a larger group, Secular Franciscans throughout the

Southern California region are actively engaging in part of a broader push toBuild Family amongst our professed lay brothers and sisters in the Third Order, as well as with the

Friars and Poor Clares.

Spirit filled individuals interested in being part of Pope Francis call to Wake up the World and

bring the Gospel to Life, should contact our Formation Director, Sandy Baden, at 760-305-8984.
