Personal Retreats

The Star of the North provides a place to get away and focus on prayer, rest, and self-renewal. We offer a library of spiritual reading, inspiring artworks, eight sitting areas, two chapels, and a beautiful yard and garden. We are neighbours to St. Albert Catholic Parish, the Founder’s Walk, St. Albert Grotto, and the historic Father Lacombe Chapel. It is only a ten-minute walk to the Sturgeon River walking trails.

Retreatants may book a bedroom for day use or for a live-in retreat. There are bedrooms with a single bed, rooms with a double bed, and a few suites with attached bath. Each bedroom has a reading chair, a desk, and a sink and mirror. Shared washrooms and showers are easily accessible. 

Our kitchen staff provides a delicious menu of healthy food when there are groups booked. If you are booked at the same time a group is in the house, you may take your meals in the dining room as well. Meals are served at fixed times for a fixed fee. There is a kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave for private retreatants to use otherwise. All guests may enjoy complimentary coffee and tea.
