Casa Romero Renewal Center is a bilingual urban retreat center which seeks to continue and extend the Church's spiritual mission to Milwaukee's urban population. Housed in a convent built in 1888 by German speaking School Sisters of Notre Dame to serve the city's many German immigrants, the center now reaches out to the area's newest arrivals - Spanish speakers from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Latin and South America. Named after Oscar Romero, archbishop and martyr of El Salvador, the center serves as a place where adults and youth can reflect and pray, learn and share, break bread in common and return to their lives enriched and strengthened. As Bishop Romero was called "the voice of those who have no voice," so the center labors to be a place for new-comers to find their voice, form relationships, and become energized to build a stronger faith and civic community. Casa Romero offers many of its own programs, but welcomes individuals, groups, and non-profits with similar values and goals to share its space. The center is a 501c3 non-profit corporation and is not funded by any church or affiliated group.                                                                         The center is located a few blocks south of downtown Milwaukee and in the midst of the Latin cuisine                                                                         district.
