Do you seek time to relax? Does time away from emails and phone calls sound appealing?

In the Franciscan tradition of an ecumenical invitation to men and women, we introduce our peaceful and safe oasis for individuals and groups.

Located on 300 acres of beautiful grounds, you might think you traveled a distance to find this tranquility when, in fact, you have journeyed to Springfield, Illinois.

Our spacious and private guest rooms offer the amenities you seek when you are away from home, including a private bathroom and food service, with the added benefit throughout of a profound sense of quiet.

The sacred places are inspirational and the presence of God is always evident.

The Cenacle is a Catholic congregation of women religious whose mission is, “We work for the transformation of the world by awakening and deepening faith with and for the people of our times.” The Cenacle Sisters have been giving retreats and spiritual direction to thousands of people in the United States and Canada for more than 100 years.


There are Cenacle Retreat Centers in:

Techny Towers conference and retreat center serves groups from 10 to 150 with comfortable and well-equipped meeting rooms. There are 50 guest rooms with private baths providing comfortable and quiet accommodations. All are equipped with individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Groups that prefer separate quarters can stay at the 22-room Maria House, a guest house on our grounds.

As an ecumenical center, Techny Towers welcomes all faiths for brief or extended retreats, and two chaplains are available as guides for spiritual direction.
