A BRIEF HISTORY

St. Michael Retreat House was first called The Pentecost House.  It was established by the Archdiocese of Manila for Cursillo Classes with the view of forming Christian leaders to be leaven in a different milieu.    
 
In 1972, when less and less Cursillo classes were being held, retreats and recollections organized by various parish-mandated organizations were accepted.  In 1984, the management decided to change the name of the House and named it after St. Michael, the Archangel (The Archangel who lead the angel host into battle, free from danger and affliction, from every hidden fault, and from every illness).  Aptly called, St. Michael Retreat House is a shelter for people who genuinely seeks God in silence.

It is not by chance or by accident that a house of prayer like St. Michael is located in Antipolo. Antipolo is well-known as a center of pilgrimage, a place known for the shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.  Pilgrim and journey are words that connote faith and devotion.

The House became known and continues to expand as lay people grow in their retreats and recollection, formation sessions and conferences, for vocation discernment, for values and cultural development, marriage encounter, youth encounter, and evangelization programs.  The long list of activities is meant to renew them spiritually as well as to ensure their holistic and integral human education

St. Michael Retreat House being a venue for spiritual and church activities seeks to help in renewing and strengthening the family through education and formation.
