I would recommend that EVERYONE visit Heritage, even if you are not Catholic, you can book a stay at the retreat and enjoy the beauty of the grounds. Everyone was so nice and helpful, I really can't wait to go back!

The ambience of natural beauty and the well-maintained facilities makes this a wonderful place to disconnect and pray serenely. They went above and beyond in accommodating my special diet, and the food was excellent. I can't recommend them highly enough.
