Absolutely magnificent property! The renewal center is well laid out with a wealth of indoor and outdoor contemplative space. The staff in volunteers are helpful and friendly. Besides the incredible views and perfect location on the edge of Saguaro West National Park, the food tops the assets of this retreat center. Access to local hiking trails and the petroglyphs are a key features…come prepared. My only complaint was the lack of upkeep on outdoor furniture and fixtures, and the room I stayed in was clearly worn (dusty and tired, not well curated).

So beautiful. Priests and services are outstanding. Retreats that are pertinent are so fulfilling. Many fundraising opportunities are offered to help various community needs. The location is awesome and awe-inspiring being so near the entrance to Saguaro National Park.

It’s ironic that one heads to the desert to fill ones empty cup. The place is simple and well attended by the staff. My first time here but felt I was home. Thank you.

The setting for a retreat is exceptional. The food is amazing especially for those with dietary restrictions. The chapel is beautiful and the grounds have historic connections. The staff is friendly and professional no matter what type of retreat you are looking for. Highly recommend.

The retreat center in the desert provides a prayerful atmosphere. The options for meals are very good. The accommodations are simple and clean. There are walking trails and meditation walks. I enjoyed the labyrinth and the chapel.

Love this place; been coming here for years to Rest, Relax and Retreat. The hieroglyphs, meditation maze, meeting rooms, private lodges, staff and meals make a weekend here very comfortable.

I spent the last 3 days at a prayer summit at Redemption Center in Picture Rocks, which was incredible! I was very impressed with all we got for the price we paid. The rooms were adequate & comfortable, the setting is beautiful with tons of saguaros and cholla cactus all over the surrounding hills. I was most impressed however, with the wonderful meals we got! All breakfast, lunch and dinners were included in the price. Each meal included fresh salad ingredients that were pleasing to the eye and the palate. The meals also all included delicious meats, soups and desserts. It was a wonderful time with some amazing women and I would recommend Redemption Center for any group wanting to use for any kind of retreat or weekend conference.
