    Sharing Sacred Spaces Capital Campaign for Moye


Moye Retreat Center is owned and subsidized by the Sisters of Divine Providence who are committed to making Moye an affordable place for groups to use, even though this pledge is a financial challenge for them.  Because of this commitment, each year the Sisters of Divine Providence subsidize Moye for expenses that are not covered by the groups that use it.  In addition, the Sisters provide funding for any capital improvements that need to be made to protect and preserve this blessed place.

The Sisters of Divine Providence are now engaged in a fundraising effort for Moye, "Sharing Sacred Spaces Capital Campaign," to address these five physical areas that need immediate attention:
          1.  installing an interconnected fire and smoke alarm system in all the buildings;
          2.  painting the exterior of the main building;
          3.  replacing the roof and making other repairs on the historic 1846 St. Louis Church;
          4.  repairing the Lourdes Grotto, statues and surrounding area; and
          5.  installing central heating and air-conditioning in the dining room and upgrading the kitchen

The cost for these Capital Improvements is $300,000. 

We are asking for your help to raise this amount to preserve and improve Moye Retreat Center.   To learn more about this campaign, click here for Brochure.  You can help us continue our retreat mission at Moye by making a contribution  in the following ways:

Mission Statement

Moye Retreat Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Divine Providence.  Its mission is to provide a gathering place for women and men
from many backgrounds and beliefs to pray, learn, share and reflect in order to be transformed by our Provident God
and to carry that tender love of God to others in need of peace, justice, freedom and love.

The Sisters of Divine Providence are a community of women within the Catholic Church who dedicate their lives totally to furthering
the mission of Jesus.  They minister to people in need, finding light and strength in prayer.  The particular charism which informs
their mission is confidence that God is provident — guiding, loving and caring for all creation.
