Accommodation
We have ten retreat bedrooms, most of which are equipped with two twin beds. The rooms may be shared if you are coming with a friend or partner, but generally there is just one person per room. Our building is set back among the trees so the rooms stay fairly cool. There is heat in each room for the colder nights. Each room has a sink, mirror, chair, desk, and small closet area. Towels and linens are provided, but please bring your own toiletries. Bathrooms are shared and showers are available. Retreatants are welcome to join the Sisters for Mass, Praise, and meals. There is wi-fi available in the Priory Library from 8:30am-8:00pm everyday. The Priory Store is also open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Perfect Place for a Silent Retreat
on a silent retreat many years ago and knew that it would be helpful to get away from all of the external pressures and focus on the internal feelings of grief and loss. Luckily The Priory allowed me to have a five-day silent retreat in my well-furnished room plus a private dining space for silence.
My need for silence was respected by everyone there. The surroundings were lovely and peaceful.
It was just what I needed.
