The Hermitage offers an array of function rooms and facilities to suit any conference or retreat needs
Chapel of the Visitation
Well worth a visit, the Chapel of the Visitation was fully refurbished in 2006 to mark a century of Marist presence at Mittagong. Originally built in a neo-gothic style in 1926, the chapel was the focus of daily prayer and Eucharist for the novice Brothers in formation when the Novitiate was here. Today, the chapel is open to pilgrims, guests and visitors for personal prayer and reflection. Guest groups usually arrange to use the chapel as part of their program.
Fergus Room and Library
The Fergus Room can be used for up to 25 guests as a prayer space and/or presentation space. An attractive feature of this space is the vista that can be viewed from the room. Adjoining this space is a small library which includes a reference section, a selection of Marist writings and mixed collection of spiritual and theological readings.
Madonna Room
The Madonna Room of Silence, once the Cellar Door for the vineyard, has been beautifully renovated into a bright light-filled space for private prayer and reflection. There is a private and fully stocked kitchenette and guests doing private retreats may have their meals there. It also has a small library with a selection of Spirituality books. The Madonna Room is situated next to the Chapel of the Visitation.
