Mary Stine Cruz
You fall in love with the place as you walk in. I was there celebrating Catholic Charities luncheon and then walked around the area and fell in love with the surroundings at La Gruta de Lourdes.
Brian Perkins
This is a beautiful center for educational presentations. I was very impressed by this facility.

Beautiful conference setting. Peaceful and relaxing. Hospitality staff is wonderful.
Linda Salazar
So many of our participants commented on the beauty of the event center. Everything ran smoothly. Zenia was so responsive to my questions and requests. Unless we can find someone to donate space for free, we are planning to book with you again next year.
Chip Payne
This center is on the campus of the Oblate School of Theology. It’s a great place for learning, retreats, the campus environment is welcoming, and the food is wonderful! Visit here for spiritual nourishment as an individual or group.
