At this time, people are looking for a place of refreshment, peace, spiritual enrichment and hospitality.
Villa Pauline,
on the beautiful and spacious grounds of the Sisters of Christian Charity
is just such a place of respite and silence. We invite you to enjoy the elegance and "homeyness"
of a Georgian mansion built in 1892, with an expansive porch, large gathering space, options for break-out groups, dining room, spiritual library, and inspiring chapel.
The Pauline House Hermitage,
located on the grounds, is a small apartment available for private, weekend or week retreats.
Thank you for considering Villa Pauline!

Thoughts from a retreatant: " I want to tell you what a wonderful experience I had at Villa Pauline. The Villa and surrounding countryside offered such a sense of peace that it was easy to garner a great deal of spirituality just by being there. The retreatants were able to contribute easily in such an atmosphere. I look forward to seeing the lovely Sisters who were so thoughtful and who helped make the retreat successful!"
"We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart,
and to bring home those who are lost." -- Francis of Assisi
