June 6, 2026

Retreat at Heritage

Saturday’s activities include Mass at the historic Church of the Purification followed by a 2 mile Eucharistic procession from the church to Locust Grove Cemetery, the oldest Catholic cemetery in Georgia, circa 1790. Following the benediction in Locust Grove Cemetery, lunch and free-time at the Retreat will allow time for both fellowship and quiet contemplation around the Heritage grounds. Overnight guests have the opportunity to conclude their weekend with another Mass at the Church of the Purification on Corpus Christi Sunday.

Resources on the Eucharist and Corpus Christi will be available for our guests in the Heritage Shop as well as the Pine Lodge Library. We look forward to welcoming you to the cradle of Catholicism in Georgia!

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!

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...
