Spiritual Retreat House

Looking for A Spiritual Respite From the Busyness of Life?

Santa Rita Abbey’s retreat house is beautiful; its surroundings are themselves a prayer. A vast western sky has things to tell us of God, both day and night. Mountains speak in solidity and reassurance. But we are a monastic place, a place in which the sisters’ simple life, their fidelity to silence, the sacred word, and liturgy lend meaning to the retreatants’ experience.

We invite you to step away from the rush of everyday life and book a stay at our Spiritual Retreat House to find sacred moments of solace, reflection and contemplation.

Testimonials from Our Guests

"Everything was wonderfully prepared and far exceeded my anticipation of what it might be. Surrounding all of that was the peace, beauty and solitude of this place. Thank you for sharing it all with me. I feel blessed to have been able to visit and to join you in prayer."
- K.
"From the moment I arrived and picked up my key I felt the love of God was in the abbey ... Santa Rita Abbey has a special quietness and stillness that allows the retreat seeker ample opportunity to be still and listen for God's still small voice and respond with reflection, confession, redemption and love."
- Richard
