Group Reservations

Group Pilgrimages and Retreats

Please complete the group reservation form to schedule your group visit so we may accommodate you. We ask that you give us a 7 day notice.

Things to consider when visiting:

Visits:

We greatly appreciate advanced notice of a group over 15 people. This is to help us prepare for a large group We may have multiple events going on or a special event that you should be notified about. Thank you in advance.

Celebrating a Mass:

A Letter of Suitability is required for all clergy outside of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. This is incredibly important as we see hundreds of groups throughout the year and need to be sure each priest is in good standing in order to celebrate mass here. There will be no exceptions.
We have limited vestments. On a busy day (especially a special feast day) we may not have enough vestments for all groups. Please bring your own or double check with us if this will be a challenge.
We have many groups coming through, especially on weekends. If you have a scheduled mass time, please be considerate of other groups and start on time. We try to accommodate all groups that wish to have a mass, but in order to do that, we have a short window to set up for each mass.

Attention Bus Drivers!

Please drop off your group at the Miller Family Visitors Center and follow the directions of our Bus Map
