Enota Glace is a place of magic and beauty, nestled on a mountainside thirteen and one-half miles from White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia. The atmosphere is filled with Grace and wonder - a perfect setting for introspection and self-development. Currently there is a classroom, a picnic area, hiking trails, a playground, and a place for ceremony. The miniature lighthouse is the inspiration for our centre's logo. It represents the intention with which the centre is being created: to assist all who would follow their own Light in an energy of humility and Grace.

| "The spiritual recesses of hearts in spoken word reflect the Word Who came to be among us and remains with us. The Holy Spirit of the Living God is closer to us than breath. In every cell of every creature lives a spark of the Creator, Who is Love. Let us share our thoughts through breath and word. Let God be God within and among us. We will celebrate the truth of God's Presence, alive, and well." - Anne Cappelletti. |

A hundred-acre rural setting is the backdrop of Saint Joseph Center. The Center offers a comfortable and homelike atmosphere marked by hospitality, simplicity, and quiet.
The Center provides a restful and peace-filled environment for an unstructured retreat. There are several Sisters of St. Joseph available by appointment to provide spiritual direction if desired. Opportunities for classes and workshops can be found locally at Wheeling Jesuit University, the Howard Long Wellness Center, and Oglebay Park. The Center can accomodate 10 overnight guests.
Sabbatical opportunity: The apartment at Saint Joseph Center is available for extended periods of time. It is a lovely setting consisting of a sitting room, bedroom, small kitchen and outside porch. The Center is located on 100 acres of woodland and rolling hills. It is within easy walking distance of Oglebay Park and close to the Stifle Center and Oglebay Institute for cultural opportunities and the local wellness center where one can take classes in yoga, tai chi etc. The Center is ecumenical in nature though we offer Roman catholic services for guests. We do rent out the space if the group is looking to have their own retreat or quiet time. Please fill out the form below for more information.
The St. Joseph Center now offers its visitors a unique prayer opportunity. Guests can pursue quiet thoughts while walking through the labyrinth. Walking meditation is a form of "body prayer," a way of using the whole body.
St. Joseph's has an extensive calendar of workshops and programs. Please visit our web site to see our current schedule. Click here.
