Let the Spirit Move You!
Sister Martha Ann was the heart of our efforts at The Spirit Center. In her gentle, loving (and persistent!) way, Sister Martha Ann worked tirelessly to secure grants and donors to ensure the continued success of our mission - to provide a place for the spiritual, educational and social development for the youth of south Texas.
Our ministry would not be where it is today without the loving and dedicated support of Sister Martha Ann.
In tribute to this remarkable lady who gave so much to so many, we have started a memorial fund in her honor. If you would like to join with our community in supporting the future of The Spirit Center in her name, we invite you to consider making a gift to the Sister Martha Ann Snapka Memorial Fund. Your support is deeply appreciated as we celebrate the life of our dear friend, mentor and leader of The Spirit Center through this memorial fund that will help further our mission in this community.
How can spiritual retreats impact today’s youth and our community in life-changing way?

About
In 1964, Fannie Bluntzer Nason donated the Bluntzer homestead and surrounding land to the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament. Sixty acres have been leased to the Fannie Bluntzer Nason Renewal Center, Inc., dba The Spirit Center. The property serves the youth of the area as a retreat center for corporate and youth groups, parishes, organizations, and schools. Our accommodations are the perfect environment for spiritual, educational, and social development for youth and adults.
None of our accomplishments would have been possible without the support of our donors. We look forward to providing individuals of all denominations a place to unplug from the outside world and reconnect with God.
