On May 4, 1896, ground on the corner of third and St Catherine Streets in Quarryville Borough was broken. The cornerstone was placed on July 4, 1896 and Bishop Thomas McGovern dedicated the structure on November 8, 1896. The estimated cost of the building was $4,400. It was described as a 30' x 50' area with a sanctuary 18' x 18', all of brick and stone in a Romanesque style. The building has a steeple and a bell tower and could seat 250 people.

Raphael Guastavino, who came to the area to work on the Biltmore House in the early 1900's. It is the fascinating history of an old world artist bringing his talents to the United States.

The life of a disciple of Jesus is a life of commitment. This life is at once beautiful and challenging. Difficulties often arise, whether from success or failure. Nevertheless, Jesus always calls us again. This retreat will invite us to hear Jesus’ call to us now, and to respond to it. The Ignatian weekend retreat is conducted in silence and includes generous amounts of time for personal prayer and reflection. The retreat is open to any adult who wants to grow in friendship with God through prayer. Welcome!

We offer a variety of retreats and programs all based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. In addition to the retreats and programs offered by the Spiritual Growth staff, we also welcome Roman Catholic and other ecumenical groups who seek a beautiful setting to conduct their own group meetings.
