St.
Marguerite's
Retreat House
St. Marguerite's,
styled after an English Manor House, was built in 1908
as a children's home. In 1960 it was converted into
a Retreat House offering hospitality to a wide variety
of groups. The red brick structure stands across the
lawn from the Convent of St. John Baptist, and is surrounded
by many beautiful trees and shrubs.
The retreat House
is situated on 93 acres of wooded land, which lends
itself to prayer and meditation. Walking paths provide
guests with the opportunity to experience God's beauty
in nature.
Accommodation comprises
of 26 single bedrooms (bed linens and towels provided)
and seven bathrooms.
There are three sitting rooms for smaller gatherings;
a library for large groups, with TV and VCR; two Solariums
for activities and recreation.
In the dining room, hearty, nutritious meals are served
buffet-style, and hot beverages are available for the
length of your stay.
The Chapel is available
for prayer and worship. Liturgical needs can be provided.
All guests are welcome to attend the Community's Eucharist
and prayer services held in the Convent Chapel.
