The pavilion measures 20'x40' and contains ceiling fans and lights. It is very popular for family reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, and group gatherings. The open field surrounding the pavilion is great for games and activities.

Many groups that stay at the Retreat Center or use the Meeting Room like to reserve the pavilion to eat outside and host games.

Testimonial

We have had beautiful experiences in the Columban Center campus. It is a beautiful place to retreat with the Lord.

Parking is free and the WI-FI signal is not very good at the pavilion area, which helps to disconnect from technology and focus on nature and communication.

Feel free to walk around the beautiful facilities during your visit. The property has many tree-lined paths, large open fields for group activities, and a beautiful walking path that leads down to our private Grotto where you can meditate on the Stations of the Cross and the Stations of the Resurrection on our famous Calvary Walk which was built in 1923. Pause to reflect for a moment in the Memorial Garden which displays the names of the Columban Fathers who died as martyrs. In this garden you will see bricks with names of loved ones that we honor and commemorate. We have bricks available for purchase if you have a loved one you would like to honor and commemorate by adding their name and history to our garden. The next time you're wondering, where can I rent for parties? Do not hesitate to celebrate your event in our facilities.
