Private Retreat

A Sacred Place to Rest, Reflect, and Reconnect

Sometimes the most important journey is the one that brings you back to yourself. Whether you seek stillness, clarity, or simply time away to be with God, Mount Saint Francis offers a peaceful sanctuary for private retreats nestled in the beauty of over 350 acres of land, owned and maintained by the Mount Saint Francis Sanctuary.  

What You’ll Find Here:

• A self-guided outdoor pilgrimage through nineteen meaningful reflection shrines

• Quiet time in our chapel

• Access to wooded trails, a serene lake, and open meadows

• Spiritual direction and confession available by appointment

Whether you’re walking the grounds or resting in prayer, you’ll be held in the gentle rhythm of creation and the Franciscan spirit of simplicity, reverence, and hospitality.

Lodging Options:

• Loftus House – A six-bedroom, two-bath home with a full kitchen. Ideal for individuals or small groups.

• Hermitage – A rustic lakeside cabin for those desiring solitude and silence.

• Main Center Private Suite – Comfortable accommodations with easy access to chapel and campus amenities.
