Sustain a Rhythm of Rest and Renewal
Your monthly gift helps keep St. Mary’s Sewanee ready whenever someone needs to step away, breathe, and renew their strength.
Everyone Needs a Place to Step Away
Caregivers, leaders, clergy, and others often devote themselves to their calling until they are running on empty.
They need somewhere to step away from daily demands, set down what they have been carrying, and reconnect with God, themselves, and what matters most.
Your monthly support helps ensure the sacred quiet at St. Mary’s Sewanee is ready when they need it.
A Beloved Sanctuary of Rest, Renewal, and Reconnection
For generations, St. Mary’s Sewanee has welcomed people seeking spiritual refuge. Rooted in contemplative Christian tradition and open to all who seek quiet and reflection, we offer space to rest, listen, and be renewed.
“When I arrive at St. Mary’s, it’s like a burden rolls off my shoulders. I leave with light in my heart and a sense of renewal.”
—St. Mary’s Retreat Guest
“This is my safe place. I’ve come broken and crying and left at peace. I’ve come joyful and left filled. I always get what I need.”
—Sewanee Serenity Retreat Guest
