“God’s language is silence.” I learned that from the Sisters of St Joseph. There was a report on radio last week that a big part in marketing for hotels and resorts today is to guarantee “quiet” for a premium price.
Holy Family Oxley – a Retreat Centre since 1948 is not always silent. That is your choice. But it is a place of “quiet” in the sense of beauty, peacefulness and reflectiveness where you can come to get away from the noise and business of the day. Located on the shores of Lake Erie, approximately 30 kilometres from Windsor. It is a refuge from the pressures of the day and an opportunity to renew and refresh spirit and body. So often we hear “O I must do that.” “I need to get away.” The challenge is to do it. At least make the phone call, email or go onto our Web Site at www.holyfamilyrh.com
People come to the retreat house and lovely grounds for preached retreats, special group retreats, conferences, personally directed retreats, or private getaway time. We have 50 rooms, half a dozen “suites” of different types and a house with 4 bedrooms all available at reasonable rates. All accommodation includes meals for which we are renowned! We can accommodate approximately 78 people. Take 4 minutes to enjoy our new video.
The Spirit lives here and is always at work! Come and see! Just enter Oxley, 121 Victoria St. in your GPS.
