La Casa de Maria on El Bosque Road Welcomes You

In 2005, we celebrated 50 years of service to the community. In that same year La Casa returned to the ownership of the Immaculate Heart Community which founded it.

The Immaculate Heart Community welcomes the opportunity to preserve and renew this beloved Santa Barbara sanctuary and we invite you to come to this holy ground where people of all faiths and diverse spiritual paths can seek and find nourishment.

The mission of La Casa de Maria is

to provide, through its programs and environment,
a nourishing place of peace
where persons of all faiths can search for truth,
engage in dialogue, experience personal growth,
realize their self worth, embrace the sacred,
then refreshed and renewed, participate more responsibly
in the creation of a just and peaceful world,
and a whole and healthful earth.

Our Program Objectives

To cultivate spiritual growth
To promote the common good of our communities
To nurture a culture of peace and social justice
To work for the renewal of the earth
