Give HOPE where it's needed most.
A Message from Father Tom, President of St. Edmund's Retreat
Each year, 16,000 people are inspired by the compassionate and caring community of St. Edmund's Retreat on Enders Island. Our programs include meetings, retreats and special events for Twelve Step recovery; the Collegiate Recovery Community to help young men in their journey to lasting sobriety; retreats for lay and religious men, women and families, and the St. Michael's Institute of Sacred Art, where renowned master artisans teach traditional sacred art forms.
You simply cannot imagine how many individuals have left here comforted, strengthened and renewed with a bright outlook for their future. We treat each precious gift with great care and your support makes a very tangible difference for all those who cross our causeway.
Please watch this video of Matthew's journey to sobriety, spiritual recovery and personal transformation. Matthew is one of many whose life has been changed through our ministry. Thank you for being part of our community and for making a real difference in the lives of the thousands of people we serve every year.
May God bless you and your loved ones,
Father Thomas F.X. Hoar, SSE, PhD
