In compliance with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, there will be no public Masses or Services until further notice. Sadly, this includes Holy Week and Easter. In the joyful event that this changes we will post with great jubilation our Graymoor schedule. Be assured of our continued prayers for you and your loved ones at this difficult time in our history.
All upcoming retreats at the Graymoor Spiritual Life Center have been canceled until further notice due to the Coronavirus. Please check back for additional updates.
Retreats At The Graymoor Spiritual Life Center
Rediscover Unity with God and With Yourself
The GRAYMOOR SPIRITUAL LIFE CENTER is a ministry of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, a Roman Catholic religious community dedicated to the reconciliation, or at-one-ment, of people with themselves, each other, and God. The Center sponsors and hosts many retreats, conferences, days of renewal and recollection, pilgrimages, meetings and other events.
Along with hosting our own events as a ministry of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, we also invite groups from around the country to hold their retreats and conferences here. The Center has 56 guest rooms that can accommodate up to 112 people; seated dining for as many as 300; and both meeting and chapel space for up to 650.
Road to Recovery
A focus of many of our retreats is to help men and women recover from addictions. Find a recovery retreat and join us as you walk the road to recovery.
