Mission Statement

Locus Benedictus is a 67-acre retreat area in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The broad mission of Locus Benedictus is based on the directives of Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel to all people, to train others to assist with the sacred task, and to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters, especially the stranger, the poor, and the immigrant. Its mission is also to gather persons of faith for prayer and learning and to be a source of inspiration and evangelization in the Mississippi Delta.
