"There are very few people who realise what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves into his hands, and let themselves be formed by his grace."

-St. Ignatius  of Loyola

Retreat Center at Chapman Lake

The University's Retreat Center is located approximately 30-minutes from campus on picturesque Chapman Lake. The Retreat Center is used regularly by students, faculty, alumni and administrators. The center, complete with dining facilities and meeting rooms, was constructed in 1998 and expanded in the summer of 2006, which brought capacity for overnight accommodations to 50 people.

On November 7, 2006, Blessed Peter Faber Chapel was dedicated to the Retreat Center, a modern chapel complete with large window views of the Lake and the beautiful surroundings.
