Facility

The WRH provides individuals and groups options for their retreat, conference or workshop. We engage in conversation regarding specific needs.

Since the WRH is one “house,” we can offer flexible arrangements depending on availability and size of the group. We have a Chapel; Library; Conference Room and dining room on the main floor; Lower Level Conference space with a smaller gathering room as well as a Blessed Sacrament Chapel on the lower level.

We have 52 private bedrooms with a single twin bed; 40 are Jack-n-Jill style; 12 are private bedrooms with a small sink but a general bathroom.

Cancellation Policy

If notice of your cancellation is received by the WRH on or before 6 months prior to your dates for groups more than 20 in number, 50% of your deposit will be returned.

If you group is smaller than 20 in number and you cancel 3 months prior to your event, 50% of your deposit will be returned.

Unfortunately, given the nature of our Retreat Ministry, we are unable to refund cancellations made with shorter notice. An exception is made when there is a situation which is beyond your control (natural disaster, pandemic). In that case, your full deposit is moved to your next scheduled event or 50% is returned.
