Stay With Us


 

 

 

It is a wonderful opportunity to take some time away from our busy world, your obligations and your stressors. Make time to rest, reflect and recharge. Come to our historic and peaceful scared space, where you can quiet your mind, open your heart and soul to breathe. Come and pray, worship at the feet of our Lord, hear His words for you and make the retreat experience your own!

Our retreat center is located in the heart of South South Slopes, a historic gem of Pittsburgh. It offers beautiful gardens, updated rooms for retreatants, an intimate chapel for time of prayer and worship, many quiet spaces to relax and scenic views of city. The retreat schedule provides for a relaxed pace of spiritual programming/workshops, personal growth, as well as times for fellowship, personal prayer, or casual walks outside around our peaceful campus. Not to mention enjoy our amazing chef prepared meals throughout the weekend!

We have 58 single rooms and 9 double rooms (pictured above). A few rooms are equipped for the physically challenged. An elevator is also wheelchair accessible. 

Our Retreats

We hope to help you grow together with others from your parish and take the fruits received from the Holy Spirit back to your individual parish for a richer experience.
