Welcome to the Immaculate Conception Center!
GROUP RETREATS
The Immaculate Conception Center offers a full range of retreat-hosting services to groups and religious communities. During most weekends of the year we host 3-day or 4-day group retreats coordinated by parishes, lay organizations, or religious orders. Group retreats can be booked up to two years in advance; please contact us to inquire about available dates on the calendar. Up to 75 people can be accommodated in our guest rooms for overnight events.
In addition, we also host school-based retreats (usually on weekdays), parish staff retreats, days of reflection, and more. Some of our hosted retreats are open to the public; please contact us if you are looking for a group retreat to join. We also offer one or more in-house weekend retreats each year that are led by ICC staff and open to all. Please see our in-house programs for registration information.
HERMITAGE RETREATS
INDIVIDUAL/COUPLE, PRIVATE/DIRECTED
We offer private and directed retreats to individuals or couples seeking an atmosphere of silence and prayer in our Hermitage. During a directed retreat, individuals receive daily spiritual direction with one of our certified spiritual directors, as well as access to the grounds, chapel, and retreat center. Private retreats provide the same access to the Hermitage, facility and grounds, without spiritual direction. Private and directed retreats can last from 3 to 30 days.
Individuals interested in completing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius may do so within a 30-day retreat. Individuals wishing to complete the exercises must 1) have experience receiving spiritual direction, and 2) have already completed a silent retreat at least 3 days in length.
FACILITIES AND SERVICES
The retreat center is situated on over 80 acres of gardens, fields and forests. Guests can enjoy the scenic grounds and wide variety of indoor gathering spaces. Our Main House and Guest House can lodge up to 75 individuals, with access to a chapel, full-service dining (for groups), conference halls, meeting and break-out rooms, catering kitchen (for groups wishing to prepare their own meals), outdoor stations of the cross, walking paths and recreational fields.
For liturgy, groups are asked to arrange their own clergy as we do not have a priest in residence. If needed, we can provide the names of local clergy who are willing to assist with retreats. Guests participating in private or directed retreats are encouraged to attend daily Mass with the community of Marian Fathers just down the road (approximately 3-minute drive).
2024 Pricing
Prices are kept as low as possible to make the facility accessible to all. The costs to maintain the facility are greater than the fees charged; we continue to operate through the generosity of our donors and benefactors.
