Located within view of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, Saint Joseph by-the-Sea offers retreatants the quiet space essential for inner stillness. Rooted in our mission, The Union of Ourselves and Others With God and With One Another, Saint Joseph by-the-Sea provides provide opportunities for varied retreat experiences in the hope of contributing to the wholeness of lives and to a healthy rhythm of prayer and rest for the sake of our mission.

We deeply respect silence in order to provide an atmosphere of reverence for each retreatant’s encounter with God. Silence is observed throughout the house during all directed retreats, day and night, including meals. Regard for both personal and communal silence nourishes our receptivity to God’s Spirit drawing us ever more intimately into Divine Love.
