“Human hearts opening to God’s heart in the heart of the city”

Corazón is a peer-to-peer ministry, one journeyer offering companionship and support to others whose hearts seek the healing, wholeness, and joy offered to us in the heart of God.

There are two parts to Corazón. One is the prayer suggestions and resources available right here on this site, offered in the hope that they might nourish, challenge, and delight you in your journey.

The other is the Corazón space, a retreat and gathering center.

Located within an historic 1860 structure in the residential portion of the Oregon District in downtown Dayton, Ohio, Corazón retreat center offers…

• A quiet, contemplative space for prayer and reflection
• Varied programming for individuals and small groups

An independent Roman Catholic lay ministry open to all

Corazón offerings include…

• Prayer suggestions and resources online
• Individual and group spiritual direction
• Retreats and varied forms of communal prayer
• A quiet, reflective space for an unstructured “day away”

Individual overnight retreats of one or more nights, with or without spiritual direction, may be scheduled by appointment.

Corazón’s facility is also available for rental to small groups desiring to present their own retreat programs.  Full kitchen facilities are available for such groups to provide and prepare their own meals—or groups may arrange for food from any of numerous nearby options.

corazón (Spanish): heart; also, core or center
