About the Centre

The Renewal Retreat Center (RRC) had its genesis in the April of 1994 when Rev. Fr. George Jacob Poothakuzhy CST was the novice master for the CST novices. Every Saturday, prayer meetings called Vachana Sahyanam, were conducted for the seminarians. Soon, word about these meetings spread all around and through gradual developments, the present retreat auditorium was finally blessed on the 22nd March 1997 on a one acre land belonging to the Vidya Bhavan community provided by the Provincial of the St. Joseph province of the CST congregation.
