Our “place” includes: quiet, safe walkways; a meditation garden with fountain; small and large chapels; three large conference rooms; parlors; a library, and a hermitage. Shalom’s main chapel is its most cherished space with stained glass windows that were made in Germany in 1900.
Shalom is an ideal place for retreats, conferences, and meetings. Featuring 55 bedrooms (some double-occupancy), Shalom can sleep up to 75 people, and is handicapped accessible. Nutritious, home-cooked meals are served with warm hospitality. A wide variety of AV equipment and free Wi-Fi is also available.

GOD, JESUS & PRAYER IN TODAY'S UNIVERSE STORY RETREAT WEEKEND
Full Event: Friday, Nov. 19, 2010, 7:00pm – Sunday, Nov. 21, 2010,1:00pm
Friday only: 7:00-9:00pm conference “The Contemporary “Universe Story”
Director: Michael Morwood - Associate Director of Adult Spiritual Renewal & Empowerment, South Bend, IN; Author of several international best-selling and award-winning books
The Friday evening conference will situate “our place” in the larger universe story to deepen awareness and appreciation of God’s universal presence. This will include examining the patterns at work in the universe for growth and life and point anew to the mystery we call “God”.
Saturday and Sunday conferences will continue Friday’s theme and lead into reflection of Jesus as revealer of the Divine Presence always with us. The contemporary “story” about our universe and our place in it will be used to further deepen awareness and appreciation of God’s universal presence, to reflect on the role of Jesus as revealer of this Presence always with us, and to examine the implications for prayer and liturgy.
