Come to a Place of Beauty, Peace and Prayer
The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in a spirit of hospitality and simplicity, invite you to come apart and rest awhile to grow in friendship and union with God. Our hermitages are available for anyone desiring a place for solitude and deep prayer.
We offer the use of hermitages in two locations, each situated in an area of beauty, quiet and safety. Named for the founders of our community, we provide the:
- Theresa Maxis Hermitages on the grounds of the IHM Center, Scranton, Pennsylvania
- Louis Gillet Hermitages on the grounds of the IHM Spiritual Renewal Center, Cresco, Pennsylvania
Accommodations
Each unit is comfortably furnished, heated/air conditioned and equipped with a bath, kitchenette (stove, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator). Bed linens and towels are provided.
Meals are not provided for retreatants. However, each hermitage is equipped with a small kitchen that allows those on retreat to prepare their own meals in solitude.
Eucharist is celebrated daily at the IHM Center chapel as well as on the Marywood University campus, adjacent to the Theresa Maxis Hermitages. In Cresco, Eucharistic liturgy is available at the IHM Spiritual Renewal Center or in nearby parishes.
