“Schoenstatt” is a German word meaning “beautiful place”. Owned and staffed by the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, this international retreat center, surrounded by acres of natural beauty and anchored by the holy shrine of Mary, Mother Thrice Admirable, is indeed a place of beauty and serenity. Large spacious meeting rooms, smaller breakout rooms, a fireplace, nature trail, home-cooked meals, and a house chapel for 100 people make the center a perfect place of prayer and retreat for your staff. Outdoor stations and a large outdoor cross, as well as the separate shrine building provide places of contemplation, enhanced by the extensive natural landscape.
