Welcome to a Place of Peace

Adelynrood Retreat & Conference CenterAdelynrood is a retreat and conference center owned and operated by The Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross. We offer women and men an opportunity to retreat and to discover new resources for living through conferences, workshops and silent retreats.

Adelynrood also has private rooms available mid-May through September for sojourners who would simply appreciate a peaceful overnight respite from their daily responsibilities.

If you would like to spend some unstructured time in a community of prayer and hospitality, Adelynrood is here for you.

Groups with religious, educational or social concerns are invited to hold their meetings at Adelynrood. Call Kathryn Ostertag at (978) 462-6721 ext. 19 or email her at KathrynOstertag@Adelynrood.org for information, reservations, and application forms for Programs. Note also that Registration Forms are available here.

The Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross is a community of women, Christ's disciples, called by God to a life of prayer, transformation and reconciliation within ourselves, within our Companionship, within our faith communities, and within the whole creation.
