WElcome to the redemptorist retreat center
Since 1961 the Redemptorists have welcomed visitors to our beautiful property, located on the shores of Crooked Lake in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
Our retreat center is designed as a place to REST for those who need a spiritual break from the complexities of everyday life; a place to REFLECT on the goodness, love, and mercy of our God; and a place to RENEW one’s understanding that in the Lord there is the beautiful gift of plentiful redemption - offered by our Redeemer Jesus Christ, and shown so beautifully through his mother, Our Mother of Perpetual Help.
Whether one comes here to walk along the lakeshore, stay in one of our hermitages, participate in a group retreat, or simply spend the weekend in peace and quiet, we are here as an oasis to help foster rest, reflection and renewal.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Center soon!
Yours in Our Holy Redeemer,
Fr. Ted Lawson, C.S.s.R., Director
The Redemptorists of the Denver Province, through their commitment to the values and charism of their founder Saint Alphonsus Liguori, continue to maintain the Retreat Center so that the redemptive love of Jesus Christ may be abundantly proclaimed.

SUPPORT OUR WORK WITH A DONATION
The Redemptorist Order is given the special task of honoring and stewarding the Our Mother of Perpetual Help Icon in addition to abundantly proclaiming the teachings of Jesus Christ and his redemptive love for all of humanity.
Our retreat center operates on a largely donation basis, and its sprawling grounds and many buildings require constant upkeep. We’d appreciate your donation to help us continue to welcome spiritual seekers now and well into the future.

Join us!
We invite you to step out of the turbulence of the everyday world to rest, reflect and renew, while drawing closer to God during this transformative retreat for women. This silent retreat is an opportunity for women to make a personal retreat in a setting of silence, reflection, and optional common prayer.
Daily Eucharist, Evening Prayer, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Spiritual Direction will be available. There will be plenty of time for private prayer and rest.
We will observe silence throughout the retreat with the exception of some limited Q&A and discussion.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for women who wish to deepen their religious practice and their relationship with God.

Comments from our guests:
“The Retreat Center is where I strive to ground myself in our merciful and grace-filled Faith. There is peace in the quiet where I can escape for the weekend from the demands and pressures of the world. My mind is joyously emptied from those burdens. I emerge reenergized at the conclusion of the retreat. Thank you for providing these opportunities!”
