UPDATE:
You will notice all images have been removed. We are in the process of moving away from our old behind-the-scenese platform. This may take several months – and – the information will still be current and relevant until the final switch. I may, as I get time, reinstall some of the images until the change.
As soon as I get enough pages created, I will make the switch to the new platform. We are moving away from WordPress due to their most recent – “drama.” We need a system that is stable and truly open-source to fulfill our promise to our community.
Thank you for your understanding!

“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi
Compassionate & Caring
A New Way of BEing Church
Walking in Francis’ Footsteps
The Missional Order of Saints Francis is a faith-filled expression of the Franciscan charism, sharing with the Church and the world the Franciscan ideals of simplicity, purity, and obedience.
A “New” Way of BEing
Like many others, you were probably surprised to learn there are “other” Christian expressions of “Catholic.” Much like there are several branches of Episcopal churches (Anglican and non-Anglican), there are other branches of the Universal Church that have ties to traditions that predate Roman’s separation from the rest of the church.
Our Mission
~ As an all-inclusive community, we provide an affirming evangelical and sacramental presence to all in their diversity.
~ As servants to the people of God, we are called to ministries that are loving, inclusive, and justice-bearing for the sake of God’s reign by ignoring artificial and man-made divisions among the human family.
Our Vision
In 2010, two wandering souls connected and unknowingly planned a whole-life wellness and retreat center focused on healing.
That vision is still alive and coming to fruition slowly, but surely!
As we rebirth our future, ever-expanding our periphery, we continue to develop our vision of what Sacred Wandering will be!
Our Programs
2023 is here and we are again evaluating our programs and ministries.
As we continue moving forward, we will rely on grants and other financial assistance to allow us to serve the community.
Learn more about how you, too, can help our vision for a comprehensive and integrative community center become reality!
We Moved!
Though it’s just down the street a mile or so, we moved our office.
This move gives us the opportunity to begin celebrating with the public, or at the very least integrating more sacramental programs.
Church is MORE than just a building. It is a community of people gathering in the Spirit!
Our Story
The Pastoral Center at Sacred Wandering tirelessly brings the teachings of love, forgiveness, and compassion to the community we serve. We emphasize the presence of Christ in all our sacramental celebrations. We do not “do” worship; we live our sacramental traditions through service to the people of God through prayer, liturgy, and healing.
At the Pastoral Center, you will engage in your own sacred journey of discovery in a safe and welcoming space, and you will receive lots of support and love as you wander your path to health and wellness.
