Bethlehem Hermitage

"I like quietness at this holy place where I experience God’s presence. I love two sisters who serve there very faithfully for many years. I also like the morning mass and delicious food. It’s great place for us have solitude time with God."

"Absolutely wonderful retreat center, the peace and holiness of this place reverberates throughout the whole property. I'm extremely grateful for my experience at the Hermitage and will definitely return."

"What a gift we have to be able to find Silence in North Jersey. Sister Mary Magdalene was a gift to get to meet in person. Food was better than expected. Grounds are very quiet. Trail nearby was very conducive to meditation and contemplation. So grateful this place exists"

"If you're looking for solitude and silence, this is the place to be. Stayed for a weekend and it was grace-filled. Sister Mary Magdalene and others were most welcoming. Retreatants are encouraged to attend 8AM daily Mass and afternoon adoration."

"Beautiful place for private retreats. Separate Hermitages. Mass celebrated together once a day but rest of time is private meditation, rest and quiet walks around the beautiful outdoors. Meals in silence at your own hermitage."
