Fostering Benedictine Values in all of God's People
RETREAT CENTER CALENDAR DIRECTIONS AND MAP TO RETREAT CENTER
The purpose of the Saint Leo Abbey Retreat and Educational Center is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of God 's people. We do this by offering the gift of our total environment, which provides an oasis for God's people to find wholeness, rejuvenation and recommitment. Through our reaching out in the name of the Church, we seek to be instruments of renewal, healing and light.
Why a Retreat?
A retreat is an opportunity to "step aside" from the work and worry of everyday living. It affords you to:
- rest body and soul
- review where you have been
- plan your course for the future
A retreat often provides you with the energy and inner peace needed to 'carry on' with everyday living. It gives you an opportunity to reflect on your life in the quiet presence of the Spirit.
Who Can Benefit From a retreat?
Anyone who feels the need to get away from the daily pressures for a few days. Saint Leo Abbey retreats are for all who seek peace, serenity, and reflection.

The natural landscape (over 51 acres of lake front and wooded areas), clean accommodations, home-cooked meals, and the Benedictine community make Saint Leo Abbey a hospitable place for you.
