Initial Request Form For An Individual Overnight Retreat
As space allows, Mercy Conference and Retreat Center can accommodate individual overnight retreats with advance notice. This form invites you to request an individual overnight retreat. Upon receipt of this form, you will be contacted in a timely manner about possibilities for a retreat.

A reservation includes a private room/private bath. Overnight retreats include 3 meals a day, all provided in our dining room, either with our buffet or individually plated for you.

We are located on 72 beautiful wooded acres and have a chapel and prayer rooms available as well as comfortable lounges. Since we do not have a priest chaplain, Mass is available at the local parish.
