ST. FELIX CATHOLIC CENTER

ABOUT

The St. Felix friary was built in 1928, and was named after St. Felix of Cantalice, Italy, a Capuchin priest who was known for his love of nature and prayers for healing of the sick. The friary had many priests in formation over the years as well as famous residents, including Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR and Fr. Solanus Casey (he’s now Venerable with many miracles were reported).

The St. Felix Catholic Center has over 30 acres of land. The friary offers a retreat from our modern, hectic world. Its simple rooms, monastic style chapels and classic Capuchin refectory (dining room) allows a person an immediate experience of peace, serenity, and sense of the presence of God.
