CONFIRMATION

& SCHOOL RETREATS

Due to current events, many parishes are unable to offer their usual Confirmation programming. To make sure your Candidates are well-formed in the faith, Santiago Retreat Center is developing a unique program to supplement parish confirmation retreats.

​

We offer frequent Confirmation weekend retreats, as well as school overnight and day retreats in the great outdoors, compliant with social spacing rules and health directives. Our programs will ensure that the participants meet God where they are, with hands-on training in the faith.

GROUP RENTALS

We provide a beautiful rustic venue to hold your next retreat or event that is comfortable and accommodating for both small and large groups. We have a variety of activities including a large swimming pool, Whiffle Ball field, hiking trails, low ropes, game room, as well as chapels, picnic areas, indoor/outdoor meeting spaces, and more.
