We’re carefully monitoring the situation in regard to
Covid-19, and we will post any needed changes to programs as
they arise. If you have questions, please give us a ring. In
the meantime, we continue to welcome program applications. And,
we continue to offer our services of healing and refuge where
they’re most needed, in ways adapted for public-health
concerns.
St. Mary of Egypt Refuge
The Refuge is a place where ordinary people come together in a
beautiful, natural setting for respite and support.
Throughout the course of your stay you'll have a chance to
experience the extraordinary through the people you'll meet,
the new things you'll try and by coming in contact with
something infinitely larger than yourself.
Are you ready for it?
