Release and Waiver of Liability
​Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House has updated our registration to include a release and waiver of liability that you are asked to review and sign as part of your online registration. 
 
By electronically agreeing to signing this document as part of the registration process, all retreatants acknowledge that participating in a retreat, a day of prayer, spiritual direction, or other event on the premises of Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House can involve certain risks of personal injury, harm, or damage. Through this document, retreatants release Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House and its affiliated entities and personnel from all liability for injuries, harms, and damages arising out of a retreatant’s attending such events, including but not limited to the use of the premises, the buildings, the appurtenances, the food and beverages, the grounds, the outdoor areas, and the natural environment. 
 
The details are in the online document that can be found here, and we have broken up that document into easy-to-read bullet points. We encourage you to read the document carefully as part of the registration process.
Retreat pricing, beginning January 2027
At Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House, we are committed to making retreat experiences accessible while providing a welcoming environment that supports prayer, silence, and spiritual renewal. We are sensitive to the financial realities of those who make retreats with us. For many years, we have aspired to keep prices as low as possible, mainly by charging less than half of the actual operating cost, which entails working from a place of deficit. That practice is no longer sustainable. 

Last year, we introduced an option for our 8-day retreats where we invited retreatants to consider what they could afford: 
  • A shared rate: We share the cost, with you paying about half of the actual retreat cost.  
  • A contributing rate: You pay between two-thirds and three-fourths of the total retreat cost.
  • A sustaining rate: This covers the full cost of a retreat.  

We are now expanding this option to some of our other retreats: 30-day, 5-day, and guided retreats. All options offer an all-inclusive experience that includes a private room and ensuite bathroom, three meals each day, daily spiritual direction, and access to our beautiful grounds and prayer spaces. 
 
Regardless of the rate you choose to pay, the same non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is needed to reserve your room.


We understand that rising retreat prices affect everyone. We are committed to offering financial assistance whenever possible. Should you wish to apply for financial assistance, click here. Financial assistance awards are made after you have registered and paid your deposit. 

We are deeply grateful for your support, which helps sustain this sacred place and its mission for generations to come. 
Option to pay credit card charges ​
Credit card companies charge us fees to process your credit card. By covering this cost, you help ensure that the full value of your retreat payment supports the mission and operations of Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House. This contribution is entirely optional and deeply appreciated. ​
