About

A farm, a family, and a mission.

Sacred Way Farms is Brian Sullivan's home, a working farm in Chisholm, Ontario, and the base for Sacred Way Ministries — a Catholic outreach rooted in faith, family, and the Holy Spirit.

Meet Brian

Brian Sullivan

Husband, father of nine, grandfather of thirty, retired Catholic high-school vice-principal, and a convert of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal for nearly three decades.

Brian serves as President of CCRSO (Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services of Ontario) and is the Bishop's Liaison to the Charismatic Renewal for the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie. Locally, he helps lead ChristLife at four Catholic parishes in the North Bay region, a program that has walked more than 500 participants through receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Brian co-founded Sacred Way Ministries with his late wife, Cindy-Lee. Together they built something small and durable: a quiet ministry to Catholic children, youth, and adults that now hosts retreats and programs out of the family farm.

The Place

Sacred Way Farm

Kells Road runs out of Chisholm into farm country. Somewhere along it is the Sullivan place — fields, barn, a working farm with animals and chores that don't pause for the weekend. It's also where the Catholic Family Retreat pitches tents every August.

It's Brian's home, not a resort. We don't accept drop-in visitors. If you'd like to join us for the retreat, register below. If you'd like to get in touch for another reason, the contact page is the way.

The Ministry

Sacred Way Ministries

Five programs that form the backbone of Sacred Way Ministries.

Youth Evangelizing Others (YEO)

Catholic young people trained to share the faith with their peers in real relationships, schools, and parishes.

Rebuilding Our Catholic Church

Parish-level renewal rooted in the Holy Spirit, practical leadership, and the long work of bringing Catholics home.

CLAY

Catholic formation for adolescents — serious content delivered in a way middle-schoolers will actually sit through.

Quo Vadis

Vocational discernment for young Catholics asking the harder questions about where the Lord is calling them.

Holy Family Apostolate Group

Support, prayer, and formation for Catholic families who want to take the sacraments, the rosary, and family prayer seriously.

These descriptions are our draft. Brian's final wording will replace them.

Looking Ahead

More retreats. More gatherings.

The 2026 Catholic Family Retreat is the headline, but it won't be the only event on the calendar for long. Brian and the team are building toward a year-round rhythm of retreats, days of reflection, and ministry gatherings at the farm. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, get in touch and we'll keep you posted.
