  • Gonzaga/Eastern Point Retreat House
A place of rare spiritual beauty
An ecumenical ministry of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits)

We are situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean about an hour’s drive northeast of Boston. Noted for the spectacular natural beauty, EPRH provides an ideal atmosphere for contemplation, prayer, and engagement with God. Our lodging accommodates 38 retreatants in single ensuite rooms. When registering for an overnight retreat, please note that not all bedrooms are uniformly designed. Two rooms, larger in size, overlook the front lawn with a seasonal view towards Niles Pond and Gloucester Harbor beyond, and while many rooms facing Brace Cove offer a patio deck, several, for architectural reasons, offer a “Juliet Balcony” instead. Please note: We do not honor individual requests for specific rooms – unless there are handicapped requirements that we will honor based on room availability. (A few rooms are designed for ADA needs). We encourage all retreatants to find "their" nook and cranny among the many from which to enjoy the views. God desires to be with you regardless of the bedroom you are assigned.
Gonzaga/Eastern Point Retreat House partners with SAGE Dining Services® to offer delicious meals made on-site. Get information about menus, allergen management, nutrition, sustainability, and culinary trends here: https://vimeo.com/563945084/086620f676. Please note: EPRH is not a nut-free facility, and the kitchen staff can make mealtime accommodations only for the specific twelve allergens listed on the EPRH retreat application (as posted in the dining room). They are not able to accommodate additional personal preferences. If you have noted any of the twelve allergens on your application form, please see the chef upon arrival to discuss your plan for meals during your stay. The staff will be able to assist you only after you have spoken to them.

At Eastern Point, you can experience a range of retreats from a single day of prayer to the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola for 30 days. The majority of our retreats are 8 days and offer you the opportunity to indulge yourself in the peace, serenity and magnificent natural beauty of our surroundings. One of the hallmarks of a retreat at Eastern Point is the silence that enables you to hear the sounds of the ocean as well as the voice of God throughout creation. For most retreats, you are offered the services of an experienced spiritual director who will accompany you during these days of silence and contemplation.
