A message from Fr. Richard Hermes, S.J.
As we approach the close of our fiscal year on June 30, we offer our heartfelt gratitude to all who have already supported the White House Retreat Annual Appeal. Your generosity helps ensure that this sacred place of prayer, silence, and spiritual renewal remains available to all who seek a deeper relationship with God.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to participate, we invite you to prayerfully consider making a gift today. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps sustain this ministry and its mission for generations to come.
