Heritage provided our faculty and staff a wonderful retreat! What a beautiful, peaceful space! We loved our experience - the facilities, the hospitality, the amenities... we can't wait to come back next year for an overnight experience! Heritage is such a special place in general and for our Catholic history in Georgia!
