Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Renewal Centre

I have always had the most beautiful retreats here. So calm, so peaceful, so life giving...

A few years ago I went to Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Renewal by myself it was a great experience for renewing my spiritual! This year I went; However with my husband since I new will effect on him very positive and it did! I have plan to attend soon again. The moment of this spiritual retreat we really feel are much closer to our God Lord and the time we have in this moment is only between our Lord and us without any interruption and so joyful! It is so healing, relaxing atmosphere and pleasant that I recommend to everyone. Thanks to all Manresa staff and volunteers who dedicate their time so wonderful!! God bless you and your Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Place. Amen

Wonderful spiritual retreats.Fabulous weekend facilitators.Beautiful grounds for walking.Delicious meals.Most reasonable and affordable.

This place changed my life completely! I can't say enough good things. The grounds are sacred, the spiritual leadership is unparalleled, and the programming is perfect!

Come and rest here a while. Spending a lovely weekend (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) on retreat led by Anne Hanley and the Jesuit priests in residence.

I consider MANRESA a little piece of heaven on earth. Regardless of your faith journey, this is a place where anyone can find temporary rest for their weary soul. You will be physically and spiritually well fed here ☺️

Best place to get out of noisy world and have wonderful silent retreat. Where only is God and you.

Since Covid, all retreats to Manresa in Pickering have been cancelled. But I can't forget the peace I always found there, and I hope one day I can return.Joe.Divine WhispersAt Manresa we are cradled in the eye of Godriding out the storm of unresolved conflict.Like an indrawn breathwe find self-centredness,and dab a timid fingertipon our own elusive reality.The brook at the base of the forestmurmurs the words of God.The treetops sway and chant in the passing wind.As I pause at the edge of the precipiceall the earth claims me as her own,and in her arms I am enveloped in God’s embrace.Then I, as a newborn child of God,reenter the boundaries of the storm,fired by the restless need to grow,nudged by thoughts and prayers and meditation,and anointed by the holy waters of Manresa.Joe HevesyNov. 27, 2011Manresa, Ontario

Serene and peaceful vicinity. Retreat was very well organized. Rooms were clean. Food was great. Facilitators were adept and accommodating. I was able to reconnect with God and felt at peace here. It was a relaxing, calming experience. Definitely highly recommended.
