About


Our Mission at Notre Dame Retreat House is to provide space and time for spiritual formation and to awaken the spirit within.


Now run by a volunteer Board of Directors, Notre Dame was founded in 1967 by the Redemptorist Fathers and remains true to their charism of preaching the good news of plentiful redemption--that Jesus loves us and knows us by name.


Overlooking beautiful Canandaigua Lake and nestled on 50 beautifully landscaped acres, this "Piece of Heaven on Top of the Hill" offers comfortable overnight accommodations for up to 108 people.
