Services Offered

A ministry of hospitality and prayer is extended to persons of diverse faith and cultures, and to organizations whose purposes are consistent with the ethos of the Center.

Sabbath

Persons are welcome to spend sabbath time rediscovering rhythms of life in harmony with creation.  Individuals can come for quiet days, overnight, a weekend, or longer stays.

Overnight

Overnight accommodations are available for up to 10 persons.  All guest rooms have views of the surrounding landscape with the natural beauty unique to each season.  For groups or individuals desiring a private space, the Center can offer a self-contained area, including 5 guest rooms, 2 bathrooms with showers, and a dining area, kitchenette and living room.

Spiritual Direction

Those who would like to meet with a spiritual director, who serves as a listener, companion and guide, are welcome to arrange for spiritual direction with a staff member at a mutually convenient time.  Silent Directed Retreats (5-8 days) can be scheduled throughout the year.

Group Retreats/Conferences

The Center can currently host small groups of up to 20 persons in the Main House.  The new Education & Conference Center, expected to open in Spring 2012, will be able to accommodate groups up to 60 for meetings and meals.  Staff are available to design a retreat in response to your group’s needs.  Groups are also welcome to bring their own presenter or facilitator.  Rates are negotiated, depending on the size and nature of the group.

Leadership Development

The Center offers Leadership Groups the opportunity to go apart and tap into the deeper wisdom that arises when attention is released from the “urgencies” of everyday.  Staff are available to facilitate reflection, planning and ongoing learning. Private residential and meeting space can be reserved for leadership groups of 5-6 persons.

Sr. Marie Michele Donnelly, RSM, and Sr. Mary Anne Nolan, RSM, of Mercy Spiritual Ministries are available to provide spiritual programs at your site.  For more information, call 610-527-4072.
