Individual Guests and Retreatants

The Convent is currently closed to overnight guests due to COVID-19 restrictions, but we are accepting guests at our Retreat House and Guest Cottage. Please email sr-pamela@csjb.org to book a stay at our guest cottage, and ​guestministry@csjb.org to book a group at the Retreat House.

Individuals come for many reasons: to rest, reflect, pray, to deepen their inner life, to gain fresh understanding and to find inspiration.

Some join in organized retreats or workshop days, while others relax and find peace and refreshment in silence, on their own, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

If you'd like to schedule a retreat at our 1-bedroom guest cottage, please contact Sister Pamela at:

sr-pamela@csjb.org
or call 973-543-4641 X 9

If you'd like to schedule an individual visit at the Convent or St. Marguerite's, please contact Sister Suzanne Elizabeth at: 

srse@csjb.org
or call 973-543-4641 X 5

​
Directed or guided retreats may also be arranged.

A guest room at the Convent

​Others find great meaning in conversation with other guests or members of the Community. We offer space where people may find whatever offers peace and spiritual refreshment to the soul.
We welcome individuals at the convent and in our guest cottage.

There are single guest bedrooms with shared bathrooms at the Convent. The guest cottage is a 1-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, sitting room, and full bath.  

Guests may come for an overnight stay or for longer (up to two weeks). Convent Wing suggested donation guest rate is $100 per night which includes 3 meals per day. The Convent Guest Wing is available to female guests only.

The Guest Cottage has one bedroom with two twin beds, a bathroom with shower, a living room and small kitchen. Guest Cottage suggested donation guest rate is $110 per night. Guests may cook their own food at the cottage or join the Sisters for meals.

All linens are provided. Please let us know if you'd also like to join us for meals in the Convent refectory.

We are closed to guests in July.

​A number of Sisters are trained in Spiritual Direction and in giving retreats. Should either of these services be required, please give us notice when you book your stay. If you are interested in scheduling spiritual direction, please contact the Sister Superior.

If you would instead like to schedule a group to visit the Convent or St. Marguerite's Reteat House, please contact our Retreat House  manager at guestministry@csjb.org.

We hope to see you here!
