Thank you for your interest in making a retreat at the Jesuit Spirituality Center at St. Charles College in Grand Coteau, Louisiana.

The Jesuit Spirituality Center specializes in personally directed retreats based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola. Solitude and silence are important aspects of these retreats. Retreats may range from 3 days, 5 days, 8 days, or even up to a full month. Costs vary according to the length of the retreat.

Each retreatant receives one-on-one attention from an experienced retreat director so that the retreat is tailored to the needs of the individual.

The Center also plans to open its doors to various religious groups who wish to book the Retreat House for their own retreats.

The Jesuit Spirituality Center is located in south-central Louisiana, Cajun country, near Lafayette. It has spacious grounds with beautiful oak trees and pines with paths for walking and bicycling.

This Roman Catholic Jesuit retreat center welcomes people of all religions.
