Our Mission

Since 1931, over half a million people have discovered our oasis just 10 minutes east of the Saint John airport. The Villa Madonna Retreat House is nestled in 102 acres of rustic woodland on the shores of the beautiful Kennebecasis River. We are open year-round with every season offering its' own natural beauty. Vistors enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds them on the paths trhrough the woodlands and along the river, any time of year. Inside the building, visitors find casual, comfortable facilities that provide a relaxing environment in which to rest, reflect, and be renewed. We provide all the comforts of home...great food, comfy beds, quiet nooks, companionship or solitude...whatever yo wish. It is a place to find quiet, peace, and tranquility...at least for awhile.
