El Semillero – Hispanic Summer Program

The Mother Boniface Spirituality Center welcomes those attending an in person session of El Semillero, hosted by the Hispanic Summer Program. We pray that this will be a time for peaceful reflection for all attending.

Semillero literally translates to a “seed bed,” a place where local soil is gathered in order to plant seeds that with proper care can develop and grow into robust, healthy, nourishing, and sustainable crops. The idea of El Semillero serves as an apt metaphor for this workshop where practitioners will be invited to learn about the soil of fundraising, finance, and development so that they can grow their missional organizations—whether they be churches, non-profits, or institutions of higher and theological education—in ways that are economically sustainable and can, as a result, provide a greater impact for their communities of concern. Through El Semillero, the program leaders hope to empower Latinx theological leaders with practical tools that will help them build sustainable and equitable institutions that can positively impact the Latinx community for generations to come.

HOSTED RETREATS are retreats held at the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center and are organized by parishes, diocesan offices, Catholic movements, nonprofit organizations, schools, and universities and other organizations. We offer overnight retreat rooms, a chapel, meetings spaces, catering services and sacristan support. The welcoming staff of the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center collaborate with organizational retreat coordinators to ensure that they have what they need and offer reliable support throughout the retreat experience. All Hosted Retreats advance the mission of the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center.
