“In my three-day, silent, Directed Retreat I experienced the most wonderful presence of God. The convent itself is warm and welcoming. The Sisters are so respectful of your silence and still find ways to make you feel welcome and safe and cared for. It was the most peaceful time of my life. -Retreatant
“Even though Mercy Convent is near the city, the feeling upon arriving is that suddenly one is miles from the noises of city life and out in the country. The sisters have a commitment to offer an atmosphere of quiet and prayer to those who want to take time apart to be with God.” -Spiritual Director
“In the darkest days of my life, here I found the peace of God and the compassion of the Sisters of Mercy.” -Frequent Guest
“Extended silence freed my heart, my mind and my soul to hear Jesus speaking directly to me. Jesus had so much to say to me, and in the quiet, I was open to hearing His gentle voice loudly and clearly.” -Retreatant
“The time I spend with the Sisters at Mercy Convent affords me the chance to reconnect with some of the roots of my faith. The gentle care and welcoming presence of the Sisters have been a part of my journey since I was very young. As an adult I continue to enjoy a close association with the Sisters and relish our sharing of a “comfortable cup of tea.” -Mercy Associate
