October 2022 – COVID-19 update:
Presently, we have reopened for small or mid-sized day and overnight groups. Some covid precautions remain in place, including private rooms only except in the case of retreatants who ordinarily share a household. We anticipate that in 2023 we will begin to utilize shared rooms for groups who wish a shared room option.
We continue to accept individual private retreats and are also offering online retreats. Additionally, if you wish spiritual direction, this can be arranged via Zoom or in person. Email us at retreats@shmon.org or give us a call at (256) 734-8302 for more information.
We host many types of groups sponsored by churches and religious organizations who bring their own educational or spirituality programs to the Benedictine Sisters Retreat Center. Some not-for-profit groups also fit well with our mission and find a good home here for their programs. Among the types of retreat groups we commonly host are prayer retreats, ministry team planning retreats, men’s retreats, women’s retreats, confirmation retreats, and many others. We can accommodate both day meetings and overnight retreats, whether for a few hours or a few days.
To inquire about our hosting a retreat for your group, please contact us by way of the form below, by calling our office at (256) 734-8302, or by email. Galleries of our three meeting rooms and our group overnight accommodations may be viewed here. We look forward to hearing from you about the possibility of hosting your church’s or organization’s next retreat.
Note regarding Group Retreat Inquiry Form: Because of our uncertain date of re-opening for overnight groups and large day groups, we are not currently taking new reservations for the spring and summer of 2021 for groups that fit these descriptions. We will consider new reservation requests for small overnight groups and large day groups for the fall of 2021. We are currently considering reservation requests for small day groups.
