Our History
The Marywood property was purchased in 1966 by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. Through the years the main building, lodge and four cabins provided the sisters and their guests with a place for spiritual renewal, community governance, ministry and wholistic living in the the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
On June 6, 1992 the Sisters made the decision to further develop Marywood into becoming a full time spirituality center. Marywood Franciscan Spirituality Center now invites all interested people for retreat and spiritual renewal.
