Greetings!

2026 marks Loretto Maryholme Spirituality Centre’s 25^th anniversary. Marvelous! Twenty-five years providing women and men a sanctuary where they restore their energies, heal, grow, becoming the people they long to be. In 2001 the Loretto Sisters opened their home as a haven for others in need of respite and renewal, and countless people from all walks of life have come for nurture here.

The founder of the Loretto Sisters (Congregation of Jesus) was the courageous and energetic visionary, Mary Ward. She envisioned an international sisterhood of women “contemplatives in action” at a time when nuns were all cloistered. To this day her sisters around the globe are serving people in myriad ways… educating, promoting justice, advocating for refugees and people in poverty, serving in pastoral and spiritual ministries. 

Loretto Maryholme is founded in Mary Ward’s spirit, values, and vision. For twenty-five years we have continued our mission to encourage individuals and groups to explore and restore the energies needed for personal, communal, and world transformation. 

During these years, numerous retreat centres closed in Ontario and across North America. Yet Loretto Maryholme endured economic hard times, even the COVID pandemic. Please help Maryholme continue. Your contribution makes us more enduring and vibrant. Click here to contribute

For the ability to offer this peaceful land and comforting home for others’ well-being, we thank God and all who have been a part of Loretto Maryholme’s first twenty-five years.

Please join us in this mission… in this healing of our world. 

With grateful blessings to you,

Yvonne Prowse

Director

Loretto Maryholme Spirituality Centre is a ministry of Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools (Loretto Sisters - Congregation of Jesus)

A few of our many guests’ comments:

It was a glimpse into my inner being that I have not felt in a very long time, on this healing land.

There is nowhere like it, and the price makes it a possibility I am grateful for. The food was phenomenal. I felt so nourished and cared for. Thank you also for the opportunity for spiritual direction. It was a source of solace to be able to speak with someone and helped give me guidance.

​There is no other place that can lift my spirits, clear my mind and soothe my soul like Loretto Maryholme. I am a repeat visitor and my experiences here have always, without exception, been splendid! Thank you so much!

The house, landscape and hospitality are all gifts –

 precious and dignified and welcoming for this rough, weary soul.

I came here eager to rest and connect with nature in silence. I discovered SO MUCH MORE! The program, information, inspiration and spiritual guidance was top notch. I am filled with gratitude and spiritual hunger!

This place always makes me feel like my authentic self.
