Bishop will bless new Pax Christi retreat center May 3

On Saturday, May 3, Bishop Michael Mulvey will celebrate the Consecration Mass of the Jesus Christ our Peace Chapel and bless the Pax Christi Liturgical Retreat Center.

The Pax Christi Liturgical Retreat Center is a non-profit retreat and renewal center owned and operated by the Pax Christi Sisters in the Diocese of Corpus Christi. It began as a vision of Mother Teresa Santoyo and became a reality under the leadership and direction of Mother Maria Elva Reyes and the Pax Christi Sisters.

The Jesus Christ Our Peace Chapel will be the sacred sanctuary of the Liturgical Center located on the front property at 4601 Calallen Drive. The Regina Pacis Dormitory will be available for up to 158 retreat participants to rest each night of their stay. The St. Joseph Reception Hall can service up to 290 guests for their nutritional, educational and spiritual growth needs.

The Mass begins at 5 p.m. A reception will follow.
