Main Retreat House

The Main House is the ideal spot for youth retreat programs, leadership conferences, and evangelization ministries. Sleeping up to 100 in two separate dormitory areas, the Marist Brother Retreat House offers a welcoming and safe space for teenagers. With several large-group meeting rooms each phase of your retreat will feel fresh. The chapel offers more than just a space for prayer time. It is the core of the Main House, ideal for structured presentations and group sharing. The Rock Room, named for its exposed stone walls, is a more casual and intimate large-group space. The dining room can also be utilized for large-group sessions. In addition to the larger meeting rooms, 10 breakout areas provide the intimacy smaller groups require for discussion and sharing. The Main House also boasts a large gymnasium and separate recreation room. Will it be basketball or ping-pong?
