ABOUT US
Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat House is a Catholic, Jesuit ministry founded to serve God’s people in Colorado and beyond. Established in 1959 by Fr. Raphael C. McCarthy SJ at 6,000 feet elevation on 280 acres in Sedalia CO, we are a place of peace and grace in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. We offer retreats rooted in the wisdom of St. Ignatius Loyola. For almost 70 years, tens of thousands of people have come here for a retreat to grow in faith, hope, and love.
Our weekend retreats and days of prayer offer reflections led by Jesuits. At Mass, in confession, and Eucharistic adoration, retreatants encounter the love and mercy of Christ.
We also offer group weekend retreats and days of prayer for those seeking personal growth in faith, prayer and in the ability to respond whole-heartedly to God. We work closely with Catholic parishes, schools and the three Colorado dioceses to foster spiritual growth and an encounter with the Sacred Heart of Jessus. We warmly host other Christian communities and 12 Step [recovery] groups as well. We especially welcome students, teachers, parents, and alumni of Jesuit schools from around the United States and beyond.
Rules and Guidelines. To maintain and deepen a spirit of peace and grace, we do not allow the following on our property: firearms, other weapons, fireworks, drones, open flames/fires, tobacco, drugs/alchohol, and pets [except for registered service animals for those with disabilities]. Retreatants must be 18 years old or older— unless they are here with a supervised school group, confirmation retreat, etc. For full rules and guidelines, contact our office.
