All are Welcomed
Nestled within hidden inlets of the Long Island Sound in Darien, Connecticut, our guest house is located on a tranquil 10-acre property overlooking the water, offering a peaceful and spiritual environment for retreats or getaways, with woodland walks, gardens, stone hermitage, and a private dock with an adjacent bathhouse. Our Guest House is open all year round with various spaces for individuals and groups and meals for the day and overnight guests.
Our Mission
Unity is our mission. Namely, the re-establishment of unity of all Christians in accord with the ecumenical principles of the Vatican Counsel’s very own reaction to the sorrowful prayer of Jesus:
"Father, that all may be one. Hasten O Lord, the union of Christians: hear the prayers of your humble Bridgettine which are consecrated to you for these intentions."
Religious Services
Retreats
Our Guest House offers the perfect setting to hold your group or private retreats.
The Sisters welcome members of all faiths who desire a place of rest for inner renewal. Singles, couples, families and groups.
Testimonials

Getaways
