MANRESA-JESUIT SPIRITUAL RENEWAL CENTRE (THE JESUIT FATHERS OF UPPER CANADA)

Manresa-Jesuit Spiritual Renewal Centre provides retreat programs and spiritual direction for people seeking deeper faith exploration and personal renewal. Located in Pickering and operated by the Jesuit Fathers of Upper Canada, the centre offers multi-day residential retreats, day programs, and one-on-one spiritual guidance rooted in Catholic and Christian traditions. Retreats range from silent contemplative experiences to structured workshops addressing faith questions, life transitions, and spiritual growth. The centre welcomes both practising Catholics and those exploring spirituality from other backgrounds. With quiet grounds designed for reflection and trained spiritual directors on staff, Manresa serves individuals and groups from across the GTA and beyond. The facility accommodates overnight guests in a peaceful setting conducive to prayer, study, and conversation. Programs address life challenges, grief, discernment of vocation, and deepening one's relationship with God through various Ignatian and Christian spiritual practices.
