Habemus Papam! We have a Pope — Pope Leo XIV!

On this joyous occasion, Fr. Mike encourages us to welcome Pope Leo XIV with open hearts. He reminds us that before forming opinions or drawing comparisons to past popes, we should first offer him the respect, trust, and prayers he deserves as our Holy Father.

The mission of Christoval Spiritual Retreat is to restore, transform, grow and forever ignite the internal flame that Jesus Christ has instilled in all of us. We have created an environment where you have distanced yourself from the way of the world and have united yourself to the true way of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. “God above all things”!
