Welcome ~ PDCARE ~ Annual DRE Retreat

The Mother Boniface Spirituality Center welcomes Directors of Religious Education attending an annual retreat, hosted by the PDCARE Association (Archdiocesan Association of Parish Directors, Coordinators, & Administrators of Religious Education). We pray that this will be a time for peaceful reflection for all attending.

In conjunction with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, PDCARE members are fully committed to Jesus, faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the directives of the Archbishop of Philadelphia in employing our gifts, services, and ministries for the building of the Kingdom of God. In affiliation with the Office for Catechetical Formation of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia this Association fosters spiritual growth, mutual support and on-going professional development among its members and assists its members in promoting total parish religious education.

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.
