A special place for
Youth and Growth
Saint Andrew’s Abbey Youth Retreat Center is a unique place for youth to experience God’s love for them through the natural peace, quiet, and beauty of the high desert.
Our youth facilities are designed to foster spiritual growth and community-building. They are commonly used by Catholic high schools, parish youth groups, Confirmation classes, 7th- and 8th-grade classes, and other college and young adult groups.
