St Gertrude

Many year’s ago I came to St Gertrude’s for a midwifery conference. It was wonderful and so peaceful. I had such good memories I’ve always wanted to come back. Since I was already in the area for teach our class I booked a room at this beautiful place to relax and refresh!

I love this place! For some reason it just is filled with a peace that is sometimes missing in our very busy lives in America! You can book an individual retreat, join in on their retreats or stay in their bed and breakfast Inn. I choose the later because they had a great winter special! The nuns here make wonderful raspberry jam and homemade bread that they serve with breakfast.

It’s been a refreshing time of not worrying about all the things that need to be done, enjoying taking time to spend with God.

I hope to come back again sometime! Since I can't go to Italy right now, this was a good substitute for now!
