The St. Joseph Retreat & Conference Center features two homes for personal retreats.
We can also offer rooms in our main building for personal retreats; however, the personal retreat must align with another retreat taking place on campus. We do not allow individuals to stay in our main building alone.

Nazareth House
The Nazareth House is fully-furnished, air-conditioned and suited for individuals or small groups seeking space to meditate. It may be rented for day meetings or overnight. This Bungalow style house, built in 1908, has functioned as the St. Mary’s Boys Academy, the Chaplain’s house, and in 1991 was remodeled to serve as a retreat house.
The bungalow features six guest rooms, four full bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and dining room, a spacious sitting room as well as a screened-in front porch, and a humble chapel.
Bedroom ConfigurationSt. John of the Cross
The St. John of the Cross Cabin is fully-furnished, air-conditioned and suited for one to two guests seeking individual retreats with more solitude. Here we offer two rooms with full-size beds and private baths, a fully-equipped kitchen, a large living space with fireplace, covered front and back porches, and private parking. Nestled among trees at the back of our 40-acre property, the secluded, Montana-style log cabin was built in 1989 by an anonymous donor.
Bedding, linens and towels are provided.
Visitors must provide their own meals and snacks.
The cabin is wheelchair accessible. WiFi is not available and there are no telephones or televisions in the St. John of the Cross Cabin.
$150 for the first night; $100 for subsequent nights
