The Retreat at Heritage
Register Here

Through prayerful contemplation of Sacred Scripture and art, find rest in the heart of Emmanuelle – “God with us”. During this retreat, we will pray for a personal Advent, a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that like the Blessed Virgin Mary – The Bride of the Spirit – we too would become a Christ bearer, an echo of grace: “Be it done unto me according to thy word”.

Our Past Retreat Experiences
What an experience! I loved spending time at Heritage. It’s a beautiful, peaceful environment. What an opportunity to leave the over-stressful life. I had a chance to grow closer to God. Plan to return!
Maria S.
5 Stars in all areas, especially hospitality. The staff is incredible and the grounds are peaceful and prayerful means to walk a little closer with God. When you leave you’re already thinking, when can I get back...
