A Place of Beauty and Sustenance
Where nature gives strength to mind, body and soul
March 17, 2020 – These are extraordinary times in our world right now. After much discussion we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close Loyola Retreat House, Ignatius Farm, and St Brigid’s Villa to the public. The Ignatius Old-Growth Forest programs are cancelled for now. We don’t know what the next several weeks will reveal and we are grateful for your support and patience during this time.
A full refund will be provided to those who have paid for a retreat occurring up to the end of April. Alternatively we would be happy to apply the payment to a retreat sometime over the next several months – or even the same retreat in 2021! Should you wish to simply donate the payment we will provide a tax receipt.
Most of our staff will be working during the closure – especially the Ignatius Farm crew, excitedly preparing and watching the seeds grow! As people around the world are slowing down and reflecting, we eagerly await the arrival of all that spring offers.
Thanks again for your support.
RETREATS & TRAINING
Since 1964 Loyola House has welcomed people of all faiths to deepen their spirituality through the retreats and programs offered. The venue is also an outstanding location for business conferences, meetings and special events.
“IGNATIUS FOOD TASTES BETTER!”
