Host Your Retreat at Durward's Glen

Spaces for private groups to gather, create, learn & grow together

Welcome to Durward's Glen

Durward's Glen offers a variety of retreat options for individuals, groups, and organizations. Whether you're looking for a turnkey spiritual experience, a venue for your own program, or a space for your ministry, we have a retreat path for you.

Our mission is to bring people to Jesus through Mary. All retreats and workshops of a spiritual nature need to accord with that mission and be faithful to the Roman Catholic Church's official teaching.

Important Accessibility Notice

Our buildings were originally constructed in the 1930s and expanded in the 1950s, before many modern accessibility requirements were established. Due to historic preservation, our buildings are NOT fully ADA accessible. Please contact us if you have specific accessibility needs — we are happy to help and accommodate to the best of our ability.
