NOTE: The Our Lady of Calvary Retreat Center suffered a fire on June 10, 2025 in the dishwashing and kitchen area. Reports are that, while the fire and water damage was kept to that immediate area, there was extensive smoke damage throughout the main building.
We’ve reached out to the OLC Administrator to let him know that the Footsteps community was holding him and all the staff up in prayer.
Sadly, all programs have been canceled for the rest of the year (2025) as they recover from the damage, this includes our fall weekends. We are hopeful that the spring weekends to be held in May, 2026 will be able to proceed.

******************************************************************************
Footsteps in the Sand is a community of Christians from churches in this area that seeks to bring people closer to Christ, develop leaders for the local church and encourage Christian action. We do this by conducting three-day Renewal Weekends that are open to all Christians seeking a closer walk with Jesus Christ.
Our community has held over 200 weekends here in the Fairfield County area, so we have the experience to provide you with an exceptional retreat experience.
What We Provide: Most churches today lack the staff and resources to conduct quality retreats themselves. Footsteps provides well crafted Renewal Weekends that are staffed by 20 volunteers, including 2 clergy. These Weekends touch the hearts of participants and inspires them to be more active in their home church.
Footsteps three-fold goal is to bring people to a closer relationship with Christ, inspire and empower people to Christian Leadership serving within their church and to promote the unity of all believers. Within Footsteps, we focus on what we have in common in Jesus Christ and respect our differences. This is greatly needed in today’s world.
We are more than just a Retreat Weekend. The benefits of a regular retreat fade quickly. In Footsteps, we don’t “love you and leave you.” We provide opportunities each month that reinforce the lessons learned to make a lasting impact on your walk with Christ. We are a community!
Give Yourself a Gift!
