Greetings! 

"I love getting up on a morning
when the day feels empty, spacious,
filled with the emptiness of the possible...
I yawn and stretch, not rushing out of bed.
I fantasize about what I'll write that day
and how quiet it will be."

Brenda Peddigrew, Quicksilver of the Heart

Our mission as a spirituality centre continues to be
"To encourage individuals and groups to explore and restore the energies needed for personal, communal, and world transformation."
Come any Tuesday morning between 9:30am-noon to help in the gardens. Bring your gloves & water. So many of our gardens are the results of volunteer participation and are admired by our many guests. Call ahead if possible, or just come!
Visit one Sunday a month, 4-6pm to see the seasonal changes. Enjoy the peace and beauty of this sacred space as you walk the property admiring the gardens and woods. Access to grounds only. No registration necessary.

What's new at Loretto Maryholme...
In an effort to make our guests' stay as comfortable as possible especially now that the summers are getting warmer and more humid, we have installed central cooling in Edgar House and Fensom Cottage. Mindful of our carbon footprint, we use it on the hottest days, and rely on open windows to usher in lake breezes to refresh us, as always...
Carl has installed new awnings at Dease and McMahon Cabins
providing a shaded spot for our guest retreatants to read, journal,
or gaze to where the lake meets the sky...
We have a new flag, raised high and proud, as we remember with gratitude that we live in a land strong and free...

"Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet,
ready for whatever God may wish to work in you."
St. Ignatius of Loyola
