LWS 2025 graduation

I Love this Priory as well as the Spirituality Center. It is quiet, 'nestled in' and seems to welcome one right into that space. The facilities are well cared for and inviting.

It is felt that it is Christ Centered, Heart Centered...it's atmosphere cultivates contemplation yet brings forward a child like joy in all of the iconic art throughout both buildings. The Sisters and Staff provide the seriousness and intent of walking a true path, being respectful to those on such a journey, and providing an atmosphere where God is welcomed into whatever conversation may arise...internal and external.

I would best describe it as a Sacred Space to invite deeper reflection and inspiration.

Contemplative Retreat

I have been to St Placid Priory several times. It is so peaceful and welcoming. I always come away feeling rested and cared for. This last weekend in Lent was just what I needed to refresh my Contemplative and centering prayer practice. I met and engaged with folks from other faith backgrounds and appreciated sharing our stories and experiences. I learned a lot. From walks in nature to delicious meals and comfy cozy accomodations, the retreat center calmed my weary heart. My only wish is that it lasted longer. The sisters are and support staff were so kind.

What a wonderful oasis!

Everything about the experience contributed to a deep sense of peace and renewal by the end of my stay. Room was immaculate and comfortable, infused with the spirit of its patron saint Gertrude. Meals with the sisters were delicious and engaging. Each sister I encountered showed an interest in me as an individual. Praying with the sisters was moving and established a calm, centered focus for the day. Read More

One of my happy places

Just returned from an overnight retreat at St Placid. The accommodations were comfy and the food bountiful and good. Best part was being able to be in prayers with the sisters during the liturgy of hours as well as Sunday Mass, lived how welcomed I was made to feel at the Priory. I urge all people Catholic and non to try and spend a weekend there. Such a relaxing and powerful experience! Read More
