Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House and St. Edmund Campion Jesuit Spirituality Center offer a welcoming and warm campus to all who come here. The lakeside facilities are a place of peace and quiet. Prayer comes as naturally as breathing as one walks the grounds.
Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House comprises a thirty acre campus located on the shores of Lewisville Lake. The campus is conveniently located less than an hour north of both downtown Dallas and Ft Worth and is easily accessible from DFW airport as well as Dallas' Love Field airport.
Montserrat's inviting campus includes:

The chapel serves as the location for Eucharistic Celebrations and as the primary conference space for Montserrat's silent retreats. The chapel can comfortably seat approximately one hundred persons.
The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Chapel.
The beautiful stained glass windows provide a warm and welcoming light to the Chapel. Montserrat's replica of the original statue of Our Lady of Montserrat has her honored place near the altar of the chapel.
