Vision
Fatima Retreat House will be a destination of choice for Catholics, all Christians, and in fact, all people of good will, and become an even more vibrant center for all who seek spiritual growth through the discovery, renewal, and deepening of personal faith in Christ, with an accompaniment of our Blessed Mother, in order to be disciples who will continue the mission of Jesus – bringing God’s mercy, love and justice into the world.
Mission
We provide a place of peace, rest, pilgrimage, illumination, and closeness to God to promote right relationships with God, with each other and with Creation, especially through spiritual development in the Catholic tradition of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. We commit ourselves to meet and collaborate with people of all backgrounds, wherever they may be in their spiritual life, and offer them the resources and contemplative atmosphere to foster spiritual ignition necessary to be free and fully alive as children of God.
Values
Rooted in the Catholic Christian tradition and building on the history of the Jesuit community in Mangalore, we value:
- all creation
- compassion
- unity in diversity
- ecological sustainability
- interfaith connections
- social justice
- the spiritual journey
- the Beatitudes
