Retreat Center/ Dormitory

The retreat center & dormitory is part of the Knai Thomman Center, conveniently located in Dover, near Brandon, FL. It is situated approximately 6 miles from I-4, 7 miles from I-75, 25 miles (a 30-minute drive) from Tampa International Airport, and about an hour from Orlando. 

 This center is an excellent choice for stay-in retreats, catering to adults, couples, and especially youth. The dormitory can accommodate up to 50 people and features a 1,000 sq. ft. open porch and field, ideal for meals and recreation. The retreat and camping center also offers a variety of recreational facilities.

 This center offers an ideal setting for a stay-in retreat for several reasons: 

  •  The center’s origins are deeply rooted in faith, inspired by Jesus and Mother Mary. It began on Mother Mary’s Ascension Day, August 15th, and holds special significance, particularly after many witnessed an appearance of Mother Mary at the center during a fasting retreat on February 11, 2017. 
  •  In addition to the main hall, there are three other adjacent halls available for extra events and gatherings. 
  •  Priests and pastors have dedicated living facilities, including a counseling room. 
  •  The center also features group meeting rooms and spaces for adoration. 
  •  This facility is versatile, suitable for family reunions, events, seminars, meetings, yoga sessions, and other small functions.
