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.
Here your hopes find God’s healing presence; here your mind can reflect; here your body is renewed; here your spirit comes home to God and knows healing and peace.
