Bellarmine Hall, also known as Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat
House, is located on 80 acres of gently rolling meadows
and wooded countryside just 35 miles northwest of Chicago.
The original retreat house was built in the 1920's as a
private residence. In 1948 it was purchased by the Jesuits
for use as a retreat house. Today the retreat house
consists of 72 private rooms, some with private baths.
Forty of the rooms are air-conditioned. The retreat
house was expanded in 2003 and now features a 2,500 square
foot conference center and five additional meeting rooms.
Bellarmine specializes in silent weekend retreats for men
and women adapted from the Spiritual Exercises of Saint
Ignatius. A wide variety of other retreat experiences
are held at Bellarmine including Kairos retreats for teens,
Charis retreats for young adults, 12 step program retreats
as well as private and directed retreats. |
