St. Placid Priory spiritual Center

St. Placid Priory offers a complete retreat experience — silence, kindness, and hospitality that nourish the soul. The reception is warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a stay marked by peace and clarity. Beyond the quiet spaces for prayer and reflection, the center provides thoughtful amenities: a well‑curated gift shop for meaningful keepsakes, a library filled with spiritual resources, and dining that is simple yet satisfying. Together, these elements create a holistic environment where everything you need for rest, renewal, and spiritual growth is present in one place.

Perfect Quiet Place

I experience deep peace each time I stay at the Priory Spirituality Center. Knowing there have been prayers before me and will be prayers after me settles my heart-mind-body as I enter the time I have to "retreat." From the trails to the prayer times to encountering the sisters and staff, I know that God is present in all.
My room, every time I've stayed, has a warmth of spirit and cleanliness. It is a portal for encountering what God has for me. Thank you to all who make it an inviting place to find restoration that fills my soul.

Sweet Serenity

Drove up from Oregon. Stayed at St. Placid overnight to attend a visiting Theologians teaching on Contemplative Prayer in Nature. It was enriching. Being able to learn, grow, walk the Forrest, contemplate, pray in the presence of nature was phenomenal. The silent stay ministered to my whole body. It was just what I needed. The other guest was friendly and respectful of quiet. The Sisters were kind and welcoming. Purchased some good books at their shop. A tranquil experience. I will be attending again in the future.
