Loyola of the Lakes Retreat House offers you the rare opportunity to step back from life and be emotionally and spiritually renewed.

Come Away
For years, men and women have come to Loyola in search of peace and a deepened spiritual awareness. They have come seeking a quiet place to reflect and pray; to hear the word of God preached by an enlightened and prayerful staff; and to experience His presence along the wooded paths, or in the quiet of the chapel. Often, a little time away can give us new eyes, the ability to see life's problems and challenges from a fresh perspective. The more hectic our lives become, the more we need to get away for solitary reflection, and there is no better sanctum around than Loyola of the Lakes Retreat House.

To the Quiet
Sitting atop a hill overlooking farm-land and lakes, away from the noise and congestion of daily life, Loyola is a perfect spiritual hideaway for the harried city dweller seeking serenity and peace. The grounds include acres of gardens, fields and wooded trails - all open invitations to quiet walks and personal, spiritual journeys.

We're Here for You
In the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the and lay staff at Loyola of the Lakes are trained professionals. They are available to guide your retreat, to listen to your problems or concerns, to act as confessors or spiritual directors, and to pray with you. Feel free to take full advantage of their services. Or, if you prefer, you can spend your time at Loyola alone.
