Retreats at Gonzaga: Eastern Point Retreat House
Eastern Point Retreat House sponsors retreats of various types (e.g., directed or guided) and of varying lengths (e.g., weekend, 8-day, 30-day) year round. For descriptions of our retreat offerings, click on the buttons on the left side of this page. The retreat house is capable of accommodating approximately 45 retreatants in private rooms. Unless otherwise noted, retreats are conducted in an atmosphere of silence to foster one's own prayer and out of reverence for one another.
