WELCOME TO BRANCHES
WELCOME TO BRANCHES
Thank you for viewing our site. Branches Christian Rest and Renewal Centers, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit religious organization. We are a Roman Catholic ministry that welcomes all who love Christ. Branches is located on beautiful Seneca Lake, NY.
The mission of Branches is to bring people closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Communion of Saints, so we may share Christ's love with others.
You are invited to attend our "All Are Welcome" retreats or contact us to inquire about an Individual, Family, Young Adult, Corporate or Group retreat. Visit the Hermitage Reservation tab for information about Overnight retreats. All of our retreatants immersed themselves in a peaceful lakeside setting as we take time to “unplug” from our daily lives to pray, rest and deepen our faith.
Our Stay Connected video expresses the importance of staying connected to the Vine.
The Our Property tab provides a description of our property. The Branches' Experience tab will give you a sense of how beautiful and peaceful Branches is.
We welcome you to visit our site often. Please share us with your family and friends! Whether you visit us online to frequent the Prayer tab, enjoy our photographs, or better yet in person at our retreats to soak up the Branches' Experience, we hope you will draw closer to Jesus and His love for you.

GOD BLESS
DEACON
DENNIS KAPSIAK
Deacon Dennis will be deeply missed. He passed unexpectedly on November 30, 2025.
Deacon Dennis was a servant of God and a friend to Branches. In the fragile early years of Branches, Deacon Dennis provided us with encouragement, support and wisdom.
One of Deacon's many qualities was his "radio quality" voice. You can listen to Deacon Dennis' voice as he narrated Branches first video, "Stay Connected to the Vine".
We are forever grateful to Deacon Dennis. We humbly ask you to say a prayer for the repose of Deacon's soul and for his family and friends, as we will miss him deeply.
We pray that Deacon Dennis has been told by Jesus, "Well done faithful servant."
May God abundantly bless Deacon Dennis. Amen.
