Saint Joseph Retreat & Conference Center

Welcome to our beautiful 40-acre campus located in Tipton, Indiana at the former Sisters of St. Joseph facility. Purchased and renovated by the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana in 2016, our Retreat & Conference Center opened September 26, 2017.
 
The recently renovated main level Conference Center boasts the beautiful 260-seat St. Joseph Chapel, two larger conference rooms, four meeting rooms, a library, Carpenter’s Shop, a business center for visitors, and two indoor gathering spots all in a non-smoking, air-conditioned environment.

A dining hall seating 160 guests is adjacent to a fully updated kitchen and features Keltie & Co. Catering. We also have a formal dining room for smaller retreats. Our facility is wheelchair accessible with a level entrance into the building and wide corridors. We offer complementary guest Wi-Fi throughout the building. Other technology is available for meeting spaces.
 
The renovated upper two floors of our Retreat Center feature 87 rooms with 207 beds. Each room has air conditioning, a smoke detector and free Wi-Fi. In addition, we offer three wheelchair accessible guest rooms on the third floor. There are hospitality rooms, a guest laundry room, and a chapel on each floor. Note: Some rooms may be reconfigured to accommodate more guests creating 212 total beds, if needed.

There are two houses on the property that may be rented for small retreats. In front of the main conference center is the Nazareth Bungalow which can host up to six guests. The log cabin at the back of the property, with a private drive and parking area, is known as St. John of the Cross and can accommodate two guests.
