Our retreat center is a serene place where you can come to be at ease and connected with nature and simplicity, tucked away in a forested setting. We offer both private retreats and a variety of guided retreats to suit your needs.
There are 10 guest rooms with the option of one or two beds, a kitchen, sitting parlor, conference room, showers and small library. You may also take the opportunity to have Spiritual Direction while on retreat.
Lunch and Dinner are served in the monastery dining room just a few steps away, where you may also attend prayers and Mass with the Sisters. Breakfast food is available in the Spirituality Center kitchen for your use.
Some of our programs and retreats are being offered IN PERSON as well as via ZOOM, and others are a HYBRID of the two.
