Celebrating Brother Sun: A Solar Blessing and Reception

After years of prayer and planning, Brother Sun is now shining on San Damiano Retreat! Our solar panel installation is complete, and we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us.

Sunday, June 7th | 4:00 – 6:00 PM
San Damiano Retreat

This is more than a celebration; it’s a testament to what faithful stewardship can accomplish. Due to policy changes requiring installation before April, we took a leap of faith: installing our solar system first, fundraising after. Now we want to share this achievement with YOU and show you how your support makes a difference.

✨ Mass & Solar Blessing: Celebrate this sacred milestone together

☀️ System Tours: See our 1,229 solar panels up close and learn how they work

🌱 Mission Impact: Discover how we’ll save $3.6 million over 30 years, keeping resources in ministry instead of utility bills

💚 Community Programs: Learn how solar savings support Winter Nights shelter, subsidized retreats for schools and seniors, and our core mission of spiritual renewal

🙏 Ways to Support: Explore opportunities to help us reach our $250K goal to offset financing costs

🍃 Refreshments & Fellowship: Connect with fellow friends of San Damiano

This isn’t just about sustainability, it’s about securing our sacred work of providing rest, renewal, and grace for thousands each year, just as St. Francis saw the divine in all creation.

All are welcome! Whether you’re a longtime supporter or curious about San Damiano’s mission, we’d love to see you there.
