A Time Away... A Place Apart

For people of all faiths to come and find acceptance, peace and healing, and to listen to the Lord amidst the beauty of God's creation.

Nestled on the grounds of the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth and the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth, minutes from historic Morristown, the shops and restaurants of Madison and the World Headquarters of the New York Jets, Xavier Retreat and Conference Center offers the opportunity of gentle renewal of spirit, mind and body. Come and see. Come and stay. Come and renew yourself by visiting surrounding towns, as well as the peace that Xavier Center offers. 

We are pleased to announce that for the third consecutive year, Xavier Center has been selected for the 2010 Best of Morristown Award in the Retreat Houses category by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA).

The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USLBA identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.  

Our Retreat Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth.
Founded by Mother Mary Xavier in the spirit of St. Vincent DePaul, ours is a spirituality rooted in such gospel practices as forgiveness, solidarity, hospitality, and peace.
