Jubilee Guest House under construction. Photo taken January 3, 2025. Exterior siding is complete and painting will be done in the spring. Currently, crews are working in the interior of the building. Seen to the back R of the photo is Mercy House: library, and in the back center near the tall pine tree is Our Father’s House, chapel.

Marymount Hermitage comprises 100 acres, so there is leisure walking just to the buildings. The distance from the farthest hermitage to the entrance off Highway 95 is one mile. The hall- marks of retreats at Marymount Hermitage are silence and solitude and the beautiful scenery and expanse of the high desert lend them- selves to walking and nature-inspired meditations.

Jubilee Guest House, with five bedrooms, will accommodate individual retreatants, married couples, or small Catholic groups. Silence and solitude will be retreat features for those using the building at the same time. Applications for retreats and housing in Jubilee Guest House will be available hopefully by late summer or early fall 2025. Watch for details!
