“Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest awhile” (Mk. 6:31). The Knights of the Holy Eucharist are pleased to announce the launch of their new Priest Retreat website, www.priestretreat.com, on January 25, the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Intended as a resource for priests, deacons, brothers, and seminarians seeking a time of private retreat at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama, the site provides information on accommodations, travel, daily schedules, and reservations, as well as contact information.
Each year over 200 consecrated men enjoy the beautiful accommodations provided free of charge at the residence of the Knights of the Holy Eucharist. During their time at the Shrine, priests, deacons, brothers, and seminarians are able to spend time in personal prayer, walk through the rolling hills, and attend or celebrate Mass either in the Knights’ private chapel or at the Shrine.
Nestled just a short walk from the Shrine, “The Barn,” a modern building with a rustic 
look, has twelve fully furnished guest rooms with private baths and a beautiful private chapel for prayer and Mass. These beautiful retreat accommodations are available free of charge. Hospitality is provided by the Knights, and all meals are complimentary. During their stay, our guests are allowed to join community activities.
Come see us and enjoy a restful personal retreat at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, located in the peaceful countryside of northern Alabama. For more information, visit us at www.priestretreat.com.
