Get to know us! Our Lady of the Fields Camp & Retreat Center

As we have previously identified, this e-newsletter is produced by Our Lady of the Fields Camp & Retreat Center. Our mission is to provide Catholic retreats for youth and adults in Brighton, Michigan.

However, we are not a stand-alone entity. We are a ministry of the Chaldean Catholic Church of the United States of America, which is centered in Southfield, Michigan and led by Bishop Francis Kalabat, who serves as Eparch of Saint Thomas the Apostle of Detroit in the Chaldean Catholic Church.

Our retreat center serves the Chaldean parishes in this diocese, as well as Roman Catholic churches and schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit and several other dioceses in the Midwestern US.

Our Chaldean lineage gives us a unique perspective and personality to host retreats. Not only do we have the Roman Rite to pull from, but we also have the rich history and traditions of the Chaldean Church to share with our guests.

The Chaldean Diocese of Detroit is growing and thriving. New parishes and schools are being built, and the Lord has blessed us with several seminarians who are preparing for priesthood. There is also a dynamic core of young women who are preparing for sisterhood.

As this newsletter grows, you will continue to see the many ways our Chaldean heritage flavors and forms our spiritual work!
