Recognizing that everything that is good is a gift from our loving God, Bishop Eugene J. Gerber in 1985 met with the faithful throughout the Diocese of Wichita. Bishop Gerber sought to listen attentively to the People of God and to discern what was needed to enhance the spiritual life of the faithful throughout the diocese. Through these discussions, Bishop Gerber heard three needs identified consistently: spiritual formation, adult education and leadership development. The Spiritual Life Center serves as a retreat facility for those seeking to respond to the Word of God. The focal points of the Spiritual Life Center are our two chapels, The Chapel of Mary, the First Disciple and The Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Accommodations include: six conference rooms capable of hosting large and small groups; individual bedrooms with private baths to host as many as 114 overnight guests; a dining room facility with delicious meals prepared by our kitchen staff; and beautiful grounds for reflection.
