If you&rsquo;ve visited the Hermitages at the Valle Crucis Conference Center, you know how special they are as a place of respite, prayer, and renewal. They are truly a powerful gift of ministry.&nbsp; And if you&rsquo;ve tried to book a Hermitage in the past few years, you know how difficult it is to find any time at all in them! The Hermitages stay 85-90% occupied most months of the year. Guests from all over the Southeast treasure their time in retreat here. Expanding this ministry would enable more guests to find the balm of peaceful quiet. As a parting gift, Bishop Jos&eacute; McLoughlin has pledged $150,000 to create up to two more Hermitages! Bishop Jos&eacute;&rsquo;s generosity highlights his enduring love for the holy ground of the mountains and the people of western North Carolina. Now is your chance to make this gift even more meaningful.&nbsp;Your donations will help make the new Hermitages a reality AND support the existing ministry of retreat!&nbsp;
