Bethany Center Welcomes You!
Bethany Center is the realization of our Bishop’s vision for a conference and retreat center to support the work of life-long formation and the mission of the various congregations and ministries of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Bethany Center completed construction and became fully operational in January 2009. The Center provides meeting spaces, overnight accommodations and outstanding food services with the hospitality of the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus that welcomed our Lord. As a Retreat and Conference Facility, we welcome other faith traditions as well as non-profit and for profit guests seeking fellowship, renewal and personal growth.
VOLUNTEER SERVICE
As a Bethany Center Volunteer you will not only have the satisfaction of enhancing a ministry of welcome, hospitality and renewal, but also have the opportunity to meet and work with those who minister in our diocese and throughout the Catholic Church. Since January of this year we have welcomed clergy and lay leaders from around the state of Florida and around the nation. Next year we will expand our own horizons as we begin to welcome international leaders of the Catholic Church for conferences and retreats.
