St. Michael's Retreat Center

I had the priviledge of spending this last weekend at a Franciscan Retreat Center that is supported by Catholic, Luthern, and Anglican.
It was a really nice time to just get away.
It was quiet, and we had the freedom to spend our days how we wished.
I was very thankful for that.
We met for meals but that was the only structure that was there.
Here are some photo's.

The above picture is a shot of inside the chapel. It was a circle shaped room, really basic, really soft and welcoming. The walls are cinder block with highlights of just brick. It was a really neat layout...I loved it.

This picture below is of the aisle that surrounded the chapel, also circular. That entrance way in the left of the picture is the main entrance to the chapel. This was where I spent most of the weekend, sitting in this aisle with the sunlight coming in those top windows...it was great.

This picture is of a wooden statue of St. Francis (it was a franciscan order) that was in the entrance way to the whole building...the sun was coming in through the glass doors, it made wood so warm and rich in colour...
