Your goal might be greater productivity for your business team, a concentrated time for self-​awareness, an opportunity to educate young people on the miracle of nature and each other, or a more profound closeness in a personal relationship. Whatever it is, the Center’s staff have made it their mission to support you.

Presentation Center is centrally located, nestled in the foothills of Los Gatos and a quick twenty minute drive from Mineta San Jose International Airport. Surrounded by nature and supported by attentive staff, your group will be able to experience the very most from its time on our property. The flexible configuration of our facilities guarantees the privacy to fully concentrate on your particular goals.

History

Established in 1971.

Presentation Center continued the fundamental purpose for which it was originally purchased to be a site for prayer and growth. It also began to reflect in its uses the purposes for which the Sisters of the Presentation originally came into being – to meet an imperative social need of the day. Presentation Retreat Center became a haven for those who had become frazzled in the fast pace and pressures in the society around them, especially in Silicon Valley. They sought a quiet place for prayer and peaceful contemplation. Presentation Center offered an environment modeling service, support, charity, reverence for nature and it became a place where faith deepened, wounds were healed, vision could be shaped and hope could be rekindled.

Although the Center’s sisters remain grounded in their own Roman Catholic spiritual tradition, they are now open not only to members of religious communities, but to all who seek this healing, spiritual, and educational environment.
