O'Dwyer Retreat Center

Our Wildly Catholic programs are designed to be as family-friendly as possible so you can make joyful memories outside together as a family and alongside other faithful families!
Our faith is lived in the fun things we do, especially when we do them in a community centered in Christ. Wildly Catholic families pray together, play outside together, and get creative together.
We’re building a community and programs that inspire deeper relationships with God, with nature, and with our own creativity.
Creator. Creation. Creativity.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to have you join us this year for Nature Club, Adventure Club, or any of our other Wildly Catholic events!
✨ Plenty of spots still available for Wednesday morning Nature Club and Friday morning Adventure Club
✨ Friday morning Nature Club is almost full!
Have questions? Message us or click the link in our bio for more information. We can’t wait to welcome you!

What a gift to welcome the Baltimore seminarians to O’Dwyer for a day of their annual retreat! 🙏
We began with Mass, shared breakfast, then headed out to the low and high ropes course. There was plenty of laughter, encouragement, and real moments of growth. After lunch we closed the day in Adoration.
An awesome day of prayer, fellowship, personal growth, and team building. So grateful for these men and the beautiful gift of their vocation. ✝️
Let us continue to pray for them as they walk this journey of preparation. And may the Lord keep sending laborers into His vineyard, and may many respond with generous hearts. 🙏

Friends of the O’Dwyer Retreat Center,
We invite you to be part of an important conversation as we discern how God is calling O’Dwyer to serve the young people of our Archdiocese.
Following our June Visioning Conversation, we will gather again on Wednesday, August 26, at O’Dwyer to continue reflecting on the future of youth ministry. We especially welcome young people (high school, college, and young adults), along with anyone who would like to share their insights and hopes.
The day will include prayer, conversation, Mass, and lunch. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. If you are unable to join us, we would still love to hear your thoughts.
Please use the link below to register or share your ideas. Thank you for helping us envision how O’Dwyer can continue to lead young people to encounter Jesus Christ and grow as missionary disciples.

Thank you for your partnership in serving young people across our Archdiocese. We are continuing the discernment process that began on June 9 and would love to hear your thoughts whether or not you are able to join us on August 26. Your input is valuable as we seek to honor O’Dwyer’s rich histor...
