About Us

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Midtown, the St. John Neumann Retreat Center stands as a cherished sanctuary of faith and hospitality. Originally constructed to serve as the convent for Trinity Catholic School, this beloved space has gracefully evolved alongside the dynamic growth of the school and the shifting ministry needs of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. What was once a home for sisters has become a spiritual haven—offering comfort, reflection, and renewal to all who enter.

The Retreat Center now warmly welcomes a diverse community: Blessed Sacrament parishioners, families, and Catholic student parents from FSU, FAMU, and TSC, as well as other Catholic travelers in search of a tranquil, Christ-centered environment. Whether hosting overnight stays, family celebrations, ministry gatherings or retreats, the Center is dedicated to fostering Catholic spiritual renewal and unity. Each gathering—be it a silent retreat, a joyous family milestone, or a faith-enriching workshop—unfolds within an atmosphere shaped by decades of devotion and loving stewardship. 

Stories of transformation and renewal abound, as generations have found solace in this sacred place. The St. John Neumann Retreat Center’s legacy continues to grow, not just as a testament to its past, but as a living promise of welcome and spiritual growth for all who seek a deeper encounter with God.

At its heart, the St. John Neumann Retreat Center is anchored by the steadfast love of God the Father, the mercy of Jesus the Son, and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Guided by the gentle care of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the protection of St. Joseph, and the intercession of all the saints—especially its namesake, St. John Neumann—the Center remains committed to drawing every guest closer to God, providing both the comforts of home and the peace of sacred retreat.
