Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce;
then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. –Proverbs 3:9-10

Why Give to the St. Iakovos Retreat Center?

The St. Iakovos Retreat Center is a home for the parishioners of the Metropolis of Chicago and all guests providing them the opportunity to grow closer to God and each other.

More than ever before, we are in need of a space where all people, young and old, can take refuge, engage with creation, experience God’s presence, and grow in fellowship with one another away from pressures and daily distractions of the world.

We invite you to become a partner in this ministry with us by offering a gift to the center. Please join us in making this dream a reality and help to sustain the St. Iakovos Retreat Center.
