Jesuit House in Oshkosh is great for silent retreats!

A silent retreat, a quiet time away, is ready for you at the JESUIT HOUSE in Oshkosh. By stepping away from conversations, screens, and outside distractions, you create sacred space to listen deeply…to God and to your own soul.

The weekend consists of multiple talks, Mass, opportunities for Reconciliation, and a healing prayer service. A private room, delicious meals, and beautiful grounds add to an amazing time away.

You can purchase your retreat ticket right here on our registration website beginning at 8:00 am on November 5, 2025.  This ticket includes all meals, snacks, and the cost of the retreat (speakers, equipment rental, etc.).  Each woman attending can purchase her own ticket or you can do as you have done in the past and have one person buy a ticket for everyone in the group.  You are only able to pay with one credit card in a transaction so if you register more than one person, it will have to be charged to one credit card.  You will need the following information for each person you register: Name, Email, Phone, City. Click here for a direct link to the ticket purchase.

STEP 2: Room Reservation at the Osthoff
THIS STEP IS DONE AFTER PURCHASING YOUR TICKET(S). Reserve a room for your group at the Osthoff Resort. There are two ways to do this:

Option 2: Online Reservation:
To reserve your room online, visit the Osthoff Resort website. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter a specific group ID.  Our group ID is #### (Will be provided the day before registration opens). This code will identify you as part of our group and ensure you receive rooms reserved for our group. The online booking system will only require you to pay for the first night at the time of booking, and the balance will be due upon check-in.
