St. Joseph's
Retreat House

Monasteries are usually founded in places of great natural beauty. No wonder people looking for something missing in their lives have instinctively been drawn to make a retreat at monasteries where they can get back in touch with their deepest selves and their God-given destiny.

Our Retreat House and Chapel, located on a peaceful 170-acre site of beautiful woodlands, gives women and men of Catholic and other Christian denominations the opportunity to enter into a deeper relationship with God by sharing in our Passionist liturgical celebrations, while renewing and strengthening themselves spiritually and physically in a place of deep silence, solitude and prayer.

Year round, our Retreat House is open to both individuals and groups. Contact us for available dates! Or scroll down to learn more about what we offer.
