ABOUT US

 

Founded in October 1959 by Fr. Raphael C. McCarthy, SJ, Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat House is an oasis of peace and beauty on 280 acres in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, dedicated to retreats and spiritual direction in the tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, welcoming those who seek to deepen their relationship with God.

We offer our retreats in the Ignatian tradition—that is to say retreatants agree to respect the peacefulness and tranquility we offer through

silence. Outside of group retreat gatherings, individual meetings with spiritual directors and participation in the celebration of Eucharist, retreatants share with one another the gift of silence.

We offer a variety of retreats for all people of faith. The retreats are led by an experienced staff of Jesuits, women religious and lay spiritual directors. The retreats are open to anyone, regardless of church or faith affiliation. We also offer group weekend retreats, group days of prayer and spiritual direction for those seeking personal growth in faith, prayer and in the ability to respond whole-heartedly to God. We also collaborate with other Jesuit institutions in fostering spiritual growth for those working in apostolic activities associated with the Society of Jesus and endeavors to support the spiritual growth programs of the local Catholic Churches.
