Reservations Accepted Beginning January 2, 2025
The Jesuit Retreat House on Lake Winnebago looks forward to welcoming overnight guests attending the 2025 EAA AirVenture scheduled for Monday, July 21, to Sunday, July 26. Individuals and groups who are faith-based, have a social justice or education focus, or promote care for the environment are particularly welcomed. Given our mission as a contemplative or silent retreat house and the expectations of neighbors, we seek to maintain a quiet environment.
All guests will have exclusive access to the 20-acre lakeshore property with walking paths and the Sacred Heart Shrine. Other amenities include common sitting rooms, a screened-in porch, lakeview lounge, exercise room, guest laundry room, wireless internet, and a full breakfast each morning. Catholic Mass will be offered daily at 7:00 am in the St. Ignatius Chapel. The Jesuit Retreat House is located within 10 minutes of Wittman Regional Airport.
