Pacem in Terris Hermitage Retreat Center is happy to report that your collective voices and prayers have made a difference. We were able to confirm with Isanti County's Zoning Administrator Trina Bergloff that the applicants for the Lily Lake Wedding Venue and Event Center have withdrawn their request for a Conditional Use Permit.

We are grateful for each one of you and the part you played in communicating with the Isanti County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners. Most of all, we are grateful to God for protecting the mission and ministry of Pacem in Terris, so that we can continue to provide a place where individuals can come be alone with God in simplicity, silence, solitude, and peace.

Thank you for signing the petition, for your comments and prayers, and your support.
