The painting of the "Visitation" was created by the artist, Mary Southard, CSJ. (Mary is a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph.)

The picture depicts the story of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth. (Luke 1:39-56). In the Scriptures Mary prays the beautiful prayer which we call the Magnificat. Read more about this picture >

 

All are invited to The Magnificat Center.  Here, sacred relationships are created, strengthened and reconciled with God, the “Dear Neighbor” and all creation.  Here, those who hear God’s invitation and respond, discover an atmosphere of sacred healing for body, mind and spirit.  The Magnificat Center staff welcomes the opportunity to nurture relationships by facilitating programs, offering spiritual direction and hosting various types of retreats.  Religious groups of all faiths are welcome to use our facilities for programs and meetings of your own design.

The Magnificat Center is a sponsored ministry of the Congregation of St. Joseph. Rooted in the prayer of Jesus, "That all may be one, as we are one," (Jn. 17:22b), The Magnificat Center promotes the charism and mission of the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph in working for unity and reconciliation among all our neighbors without distinction and with all creation by fostering an atmosphere for spiritual, physical and emotional wholeness and healing in an environment of prayer, hospitality and peace.
