Casa Romero Renewal Center

“Nuestra casa es su casa” (“Our home is your home.”) is a phrase that exemplifies the homelike atmosphere and warm hospitality of Casa Romero Renewal Center. Located on the near southside of Milwaukee, this former convent is available for day and overnight retreats for parish and school staff. An accessible and affordable meeting place in the midst of the city’s urban scene, the facility puts retreatants in touch with the vibrant spiritual life of the neighborhood’s Latino community. This self-supporting renewal center and retreat house is the realized dream of Father Dave Shields, SJ and thus has decidedly Ignatian underpinnings. From the moment you enter the front door, you will feel at home!
