St. Ignatius of Loyola recommended that, as far as possible, a person desiring to enter more deeply into relationship with God or to commit one’s life more fully to God’s service, should take time for prayer with as few distractions as possible. 

“The more the soul is in solitude and seclusion, the more fit it renders itself to approach and be united with its Creator and Lord; and the more it disposes itself to receive graces and gifts from the infinite goodness of its God."       --St. Ignatius

OLPH provides four Villa buildings for overnight accommodation of retreatants, totaling 26 rooms, each with a private bathroom. In 2023, all buildings were completely remodeled with new furniture, linens, flooring, paint, air conditioning units, and appliances. 

• Villa I has four private rooms with a double bed.
• Villa II has four private rooms, each with a double bed and twin bed.
• Villa III has eight private rooms, each with a double bed and twin bed.
• Villa IV has ten private rooms, each with a double bed and twin bed.

Upon entry into each villa building, you will encounter a comfortable gathering room equipped with multiple seating options, dining table, and library.

Just beyond the gathering room is an up-to-date communal kitchenette, furnished with a coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator.

In addition, Villa I has a small, private chapel with the Blessed Sacrament reposed in the tabernacle for guests who are on a silent retreat. For priests staying with us, this chapel also has everything needed to celebrate Mass. When the grounds and St. Joseph Chapel are being used by other retreat groups, this chapel provides a place for prayer that remains quiet and removed from other activities here at the Center.
