The Redemptorist Renewal Center at Picture Rocks
Tucson, AZ It is a place, a very special one |
||||
Situated in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains and the beautiful Sonoran Desert, The Redemptorist Renewal Center at Picture Rocks is a spiritual life and retreat center that provides a unique opportunity for solitude, reflection, prayer and contemplative practice. Located on 120 acres that border the Saguaro National Park West, it is a site that appeals to the nature lover and gently challenges the more urban personality. With miles of trails available into the desert, the variety of the desert flora (especially the cacti) and fauna, plus ancient Hohokam Indian rock art (petroglyphs) located on the retreat house property, this place has an atmosphere that inevitable nudges those who come, toward the sacred. For those who come to it for a precious time aside from their demanding life circumstances, Picture Rocks becomes what is was for the Hohokam who etched their appreciation of life and its meaning on its jagged rock hundreds of years ago--holy ground.
