Flaget Retreat Center

We provide meeting and conference room space for group events and retreats, professional development opportunities, and programs for spiritual enrichment.

The Flaget Center is owned by the Archdiocese of Louisville and is the only retreat center in the area that can accommodate multiple groups of up to 300 people at a time. Located in a residential area and only fifteen minutes from Louisville International Airport, the Center is easily accessible for those traveling from all points in the U.S. The facility was originally built in 1957 and served as

Angela Merici High School, an all-girls Catholic High-School until it closed in 1984. After extensive renovations in the mid-80s, it was reopened to accommodate retreat groups, educational programs, and needs of other non-profit organizations. The Flaget Center offers guests comfortable meeting rooms and a place to plan, pray and build community. Over the past twenty years, thousands of people have passed through these hallways in search of a renewed presence and a spiritual journey with God. It is easy to experience peace and tranquility while visiting here, however, the best part is the sharing of experiences and the bonding that takes place. Many of our guests have returned here year after year, and that return pilgrimage attests to their satisfaction with what they experience at the Flaget Center. Guests specifically express their gratitude for the peace, hospitality, and cleanliness of the facility. The Archdiocese of Louisville is committed to continuing these services long into the future. Bring new life to your next meeting in a quiet, spiritual setting.

University of Louisville Catholic Campus Ministry is having a retreat here this weekend. It is Seek21.

"From February 4 – 7, 2021, we’ll gather across the country in living rooms, campus centers, and parishes for a four-day live broadcast event encountering the heart of the Gospel. There has never before been a Catholic conference of this magnitude focused on the Gospel message itself. Set aside the distractions and enter a space alongside thousands of others who are seeking a new encounter with the Lord, a new chance to pursue holiness, a new moment for our Church. Come away knowing Jesus Christ and have the confidence and tools to share and live the Gospel in your day-to-day life."

We are thrilled to have these young people here.

What a quiet spring it has been here at Flaget! While we are closed due to the pandemic we are taking this time to improve our grounds.

We plan to reopen at the start of August.

We will, of course, abide by all restrictions put in place by the Kentucky State government. My staff and I are anxious to getting back to hosting retreats and meetings again. We miss our customers. In the meantime we pray that you keep safe and healthy.

We at the Flaget Center hope that everyone is safe and healthy at home. We will remain closed at least until May 18th. After that we will reevaluate. Take care and God Bless.

The Flaget Center is closed to outside visitors for a while. But earlier this month we held the Archdiocesan Leadership Institute featuring guest speaker Bob McCarty. Mr. McCarty currently serves as the executive director for the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry. The important topic of the day was about how to connect with our Catholic youth.

03/11/2020

At the beginning of the month our youth held the C*C (Catholic Youth) Conference here at Flaget. Archbishop Kurtz was on hand to celebrate mass and join in the discussions.

The annual TEC (Together Encountering Christ) retreat for youth and young adults was held at the Flaget Center last month. The TEC retreat is intended to help high school and college-aged young people connect more completely with Jesus Christ. Looks like it was a wonderful time for these young people.
