About Us: Bon Secours Spiritual Center

Bon Secours Spiritual Center

 

From an ancient flower,
a new sign springs forth:

Comes now, freed of ornamentation,
bearing anew in the freshness of blue,
the Virgin's song, the sign of resurrection.

Upward springing, outward reaching,
carrying in its form the point past crucifixion,
the point of life arising.

It is the new sign,
the symbol of GOOD HELP-

The Meaning of Bon Secours

Bon Secours Spiritual Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Bon Secours. Founded in 1824 the Sisters' mission is to be "good help" to those in need of physical and spiritual healing, and to provide compassionate care and concern for all people. Rooted in the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, and part of the healing ministry of the Catholic Church, the Bon Secours Spiritual Center reaches out in prayer, liturgy, education and human encounter to serve all who come to us. The Mission of the Sisters of Bon Secours is rooted in their call from God and their mission from the Church to help bring people to wholeness, to alleviate human suffering, and to help bring others to a deeper awareness of their own spirituality.


A sacred pause of a few hours or a few days can change your life. Retreat Services provides a variety of experiences including directed and guided retreats, days of prayer, workshops, seminars and other creative opportunities with gifted national and local presenters. Both individual and group spiritual direction may be arranged for those seeking to assist groups with planning in order to conduct a retreat at the spiritual center for their own members.

Located just off Route 70 at the border of Howard and Carroll Counties in south central Maryland, Bon Secours Spiritual Center is easily accessible to the Baltimore/Washington Region. The Spiritual Center sits at the highest point of 313 acres of pastures and woodlands adjacent to Patapsco State Park and commands spectacular views of some of Maryland's most beautiful countryside. The center is fully air-conditioned with spacious and comfortable meeting rooms of various sizes as well as 70 individual overnight rooms with private bathrooms.
