Gagultha retreat center, (Kurumal, Thrissur, Kerala, South India) is a charismatic retreat center which began functioning on March 10, 2007. This center is promoted and owned by the Franciscan Capuchin Order. The provincial of the ST. Thomas Capuchin Province is the patron of this center, under whose powerful guidance and fraternal blessings, all activities of various ministries are prayerfully held by Gagultha Retreat center. Presently Rev. Fr. Benny Peter Vettickanakudy OFM. Cap is the director of Gagultha Retreat Center. We gratefully remember Fr. Jose Mundadan OFM. Cap and Fr. Antony Maniparamban, who were the directors of the Renewal Center.

Our vision is to help the people to live renewed and empowered Catholic Christian life through the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to fulfill the mission of the church, which is evangelization.

We will accomplish this by proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the love of the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit which leads to the renewal of the grace and culture of Pentecost. The experience of born again in the fire of Holy Spirit and to help individuals to lead a Christ centered Christian life, with the strong intercession of Holy Virgin Mother Mary.

People come for spiritual renewal and liberation from the evils like bondage of alcohol and drug addiction, bondage of habitual sins, and various other family problems. Many sick and ailing people are healed. After long years of issueless married life, barren women are blessed with children. Our Centre is noted for the powerful deliverance ministry, anointing of the Holy Spirit. Thus, the good news of salvation has instilled a new hope in the hearts of people irrespective of caste and religion.
