The Story of Casa De Milagros – From Mary’s Heart

A Dream, A Loss, and a Calling

For years, my husband Pat and I shared a dream: to create a quiet place where people could retreat from the noise of life and reconnect with God. We often talked about what it might look like: the land, the stillness, and the gentle breeze through the trees. It wasn’t just a dream. It was a calling we both felt deep in our souls.

When Everything Changed

However, everything shifted when Pat was diagnosed with cancer. Life became a whirlwind of doctor visits, treatments, and desperate prayers. In 2017, I lost him.

I was heartbroken. Our dream felt like it died with him. For a while, I didn’t know how to move forward, much less how to build what we had envisioned together.

A Quiet Whisper in Rainbow, Texas

Later that summer, I joined a family retreat in a little place called Rainbow, Texas. It was a time of healing. The laughter of my siblings and cousins, the shared memories, and the quiet beauty of the area gave me a breath of peace I didn’t know I needed.

Then one day, I saw a “For Sale” sign on the property next door. My heart stirred. I hadn’t thought about the dream in a long time, but in that moment, it all came rushing back. I prayed. I cried. I talked with my family. With trembling hope, I made an offer on the land.

From Dream to Reality

After several conversations, the land became mine. I stood on it, alone with the Lord, and whispered, “Okay, God. I’ll do this. Let it be for Your glory.”

That moment marked the beginning of Casa de Milagros — House of Miracles.

A Christian Retreat Center in Rainbow, Texas

Casa de Milagros is more than a retreat. It’s a Christian retreat center in Rainbow, Texas, built through loss, faith, healing, and grace. Every inch of this land carries the fingerprints of God’s presence. Here, people meet Him in the stillness, in the quiet, and in the beauty of creation.

This wasn’t just a purchase. It was a miracle. And if you find yourself longing to rest, reflect, or be restored — I hope you’ll come.

There’s a place for you here.

We look forward

to seeing you at Casa de Milagros
