Our newly constructed retreat house, St. Moira’s, is simple, spacious, and inviting. This welcoming space is super-insulated and passive solar. It offers four rooms for individual retreats, a small conference room, a kitchenette for making breakfast and picking up other meals prepared by the sisters, and two bathrooms. Each room has stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is fully-handicap accessible, and offers a secluded place for quiet and prayer with the supportive presence of a praying monastic community nearby. Our outdoor ‘Prayer Trail’ and outdoor ‘Stations of the Cross’ trail offer many beautiful vistas for mediation and reflection. Suggested retreat donation is $70 per night per person for min. 2 nights, and $85 for one night stay. But all are welcome, regardless of ability to pay. Those who are able to give more help us offer hospitality to those who can give less.”
