Located in the beautiful former rectory of the Church of the Good Shepherd, the Rosemont Community Retreat House is for all who desire a place for prayer and solace. We seek to serve and strengthen the Church by offering formation for parish musicians, clergy, seminarians, students of sacred music, and all who are yearning for spiritual nourishment. In addition to our official calendar of program

and day retreats throughout the year, we also welcome anyone who wishes to make an individual retreat in a peaceful setting where there is a regular rhythm of public prayer.

We've had a busy week or two here at the House! It all started with a retreat with a local campus ministry at the UPenn. St. Mary's at Penn and associated students joined us for a weekend of prayer, Lenten reflections, and the making of prayer beads! Our house manager, Kit, even shared some of her own handmade beads formed from rose petals!

If you're in need of a quiet space to pray and re-collect yourself this Lent, our House is open to you!

On Friday, one of our parishioners, Shushi Yoshinaga, played her first private organ recital in the church. Afterwards we hosted a reception for her friends and family at the retreat house. Conversation was lively into the evening. We are all very proud of Shushi who has worked so hard and played so wonderfully on the organ!

We had a snow storm Sunday night which gave us the most magical views! Sidewalks were shoveled and salted, so we were still able to host friends and community members for Advent Lessons & Carols!

Parishioner Holly Tuck and her mom enjoyed staying with us these past few days as Holly transitions back into college life. The spiritual patterns of the parish, the quiet, the friendship, and the tea all help ease many such transitions!

Join us in a week's time, on August 15th, for a Procession and Sung Mass at 7pm to celebrate the Feast of St. Mary, sometimes called the Feast of the Assumption or the Feast of the Dormition of Mary. Our friends from Saint Mark's, Locust Street will be with us. After Mass, we will host a potluck in our retreat house.
