What's great about our location?

The Oldenburg Franciscan Center is located in the historic “Village of Spires,” a town founded by German settlers in the 1830s.  Tucked in a wooded valley flowing with streams and bordered by farms just North of I-74 between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, OFC offers an easy and economic retreat for those drawn to the beauty of nature, the quiet of the country, and a prayerful place to journey into wholeness with God and find peace.
