WELCOME TO BRANCHES
WELCOME TO BRANCHES

Thank you for viewing our site.  Branches Christian Rest and Renewal Centers, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit religious organization.  We are a Roman Catholic ministry that welcomes all who love Christ.  Branches is located on beautiful Seneca Lake, NY.

The mission of Branches is to bring people closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Communion of Saints, so we may share Christ's love with others.

You are invited to attend our "All Are Welcome" retreats or contact us to inquire about an Individual, Family, Young Adult, Corporate or Group retreat.  Visit the Hermitage Reservation tab for information about Overnight retreats.  All of our retreatants immersed themselves in a peaceful lakeside setting as we take time to “unplug” from our daily lives to pray, rest and deepen our faith. 

 

Our Stay Connected video expresses the importance of staying connected to the Vine.

The Our Property tab provides a description of our property.  The Branches' Experience tab will give you a sense of how beautiful and peaceful Branches is. 

We welcome you to visit our site often. Please share us with your family and friends!  Whether you visit us online to frequent the Prayer tab, enjoy our photographs, or better yet in person at our retreats to soak up the Branches' Experience, we hope you will draw closer to Jesus and His love for you.

BRANCHES BUILDING CAMPAIGN VIDEO

Branches is growing!

As Branches continues to touch more and more people, our needs are increasing too. 

This video shares God's calling for us, what God has provided through the generosity of many, and our future goals for which we trust in God.

We are especially grateful for Duprey Video Productions and Churchill Architectual pc, as their talents and generosity have made this video possible.

 

Jesus, we trust in You!

REST WITH US

The word retreat means to withdraw.  We invite you to “unplug” from daily life and retreat with us.  We find our waterfront setting to be peaceful, quiet and a beautiful location for rest, solitude and prayer.
