St Francis Retreat Center — Local services in DeWitt

Here’s a HONEST review from a student. This place was honestly terrifying. I got put here for 3 days, me and other people didn’t have the best experience while we were here. The workers were weird, especially one guy doing stuff with his girlfriend right infront of us kids. Food was bad and they had us stay up till 11pm even if we were really tired and wake up at 6:30.

The grounds are wonderful but are showing some signs of neglect and things are starting to get away from them-- such as weed trees starting to overgrow in the Stations of the Cross and a lot of weeds and other needed upkeep in some of the other gardens. I know gardens are very labor intensive but I hope they can find additional manpower to keep them up for people to enjoy...

It's a great deal for the price. It's a very peaceful environment. I had lunch while I stayed there and it...
