Mount Manresa Jesuit Retreat House
Mount Manresa Jesuit Retreat House takes its name from the place St Ignatius Loyola made his first retreat. At Mount Manresa on Staten Island, one can see clearly, stroll a rustic landscape, and pray in the warmth of a traditional chapel. Look within to see the direction life has taken; face the choices of the future in a beautiful setting. Meet your God on the holy ground of your own heart and soul.

Fireplaces, outdoor gazebo, 10 acres of garden and park area, internet access, meditation hall, and chapel are available on-site. [From www.manresasi.org]
