Cranaleith Spiritual Center, a nonprofit conference and retreat center in Northeast Philadelphia has appointed Deborah Kost as its new Executive Director.

April is National Poetry month. As we at Cranaleith accompany you through these anguishing days, we’d like to periodically offer you some poems to carry our presence and our prayer to you.

This spring, we will be offering a two-day training to educate community clergy about issues facing returning veterans and their families following deployment.

On a sparkling October day, our conference center vibrated with the energy of the thirteen women and men who had participated in Cranaleith’s Formation Program in Spiritual Direction.

Spaghetti squash is a winter vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This easy to prepare and savory meal is sure to become a family favorite.

For your holiday shopping convenience, the Gift Shop will be open special hours.

Saturdays, December 7 and 14, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.

Double back, or press on? The trail map of Monhegan Island (population 65) clearly identified three walks recommended for day-trippers, so we had chosen the pleasant, 25-minute stroll to Lobster Cove.

We live in a world that is constantly inundating us from all sides with information (fake and real), often in the form of tweets and sound bites. We need places where one can stop, listen deeply and reflect clearly on what matters, with opportunities for silence and for sharing in more than hashtags and 140 characters. 

We invite you to join us this year at Cranaleith and trust that you will find in our offerings one or more that beckon you to this place of hope, this sanctuary of mercy.
