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 weekend for women.

Our Retreat Theme is “Welcoming the Wisdom of Contemporary Catholic Women” and we often look to the many faith-filled historical women who have modeled for us how to enrich our spiritual lives and have given us roadmaps on how we as women can journey to a flourishing relationship with God. While these historical women have been our go to women of wisdom, there are also many contemporary Catholic women who offer us additional insights and direction, especially for our present time. Their life journeys can offer us the gift of gentle encouragement and urge us to strengthen our walks of faith. You are invited to come and discover who these women are and how they can become additional models and companions on your journey of faith as you seek peace and blessings.

Please note - quiet will be maintained throughout this retreat

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!”
