Closing of St. Francis Spirituality Center in June of 2025

Tiffin, Ohio. St. Francis Spirituality Center was established in 1982 in response to a growing need for spiritual renewal programs after the Second Vatican Council. Over the years, the center has offered many individuals and groups an oasis of healing, reconciliation, and renewal.

After many years of discernment, research and evaluation, the Sisters of St. Francis have determined that it is time to close St. Francis Spirituality Center. The change will go into effect at the end of the current fiscal year, June 30, 2025.

It is our intention to continue to host all scheduled retreats and programs up until that date. Future use of the building will be determined at a later date.
