Mission & Vision
Through our vision and mission Star of the North Retreat Centre seeks to foster a culture of encounter with people and with creation. We do this in our commitment to follow through with the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and to provide ongoing retreats and programs for Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation with ecumenical and interfaith dimensions. Our mission is wide enough to embrace spiritual seekers from all walks of life and particular enough to stay true to our Oblate spirituality.
