Recently, I reviewed my old photos and found our small group visit to Saddleback Church Retreat Center at Rancho Capistrano in 2010.
The Retreat Ministry at Rancho Capistrano is a beautiful, 170-acre oasis where you can go to pursue spiritual growth, rest, and renewal through affordable retreat programs.
Nestled in the foothills of South Orange County, the Retreat Ministry offers you a chance to slip away from your regular routine and enjoy a time of spiritual growth, personal reflection, prayer, and fellowship. Day and overnight retreats, workshops, and special events are available for individuals and groups with all-inclusive accommodations to create an enriched experience that has a lasting impact.
The beautiful grounds are filled with an air of peace and serenity, making anywhere on the property an ideal location to relax, heal, and experience God’s presence.

My niece was married at your lovely center years before it was your retreat… I have never forgotten it and have often wondered about it as I drive south on the 5 every so often. I called my niece (the long-ago bride) because I wondered if you permit the general public to be married there. She said doubtful. Although my niece who was married there 23 years ago is an active Saddleback Church member, we are not. (We go to Seacoast Grace in Cypress as we live in LA County.) But I have never forgotten that lovely ranch venue with its Spanish feel,, and my then-little girl all dressed to be in her cousin’s wedding is soon to be the bride. Just thought I would ask… I’m asking (but I know the answer.) Forgive me…
