Meditation and prayer find encouragement; resting in God and being renewed in the Spirit are the instruments of the peace we offer. In the quiet of the woods, the contemplative walk of the labyrinth, the serenity of the grotto, the solitude of your room, or the peacefulness of the chapel, you can discover the gift of God's presence in the stillness of your heart.
Conveniently located in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis,
Indiana, we offer a place set apart from the distractions of the outside world-13 acres of serenity in the city. Join us for one of our retreats or programs, host your own retreat here, or come for a day of silence or private retreat. Experience the comfort and Christian hospitality that is Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House!

Scout Patrick Carper, St. Barnabas Parish, completed a project for his Eagle Scout badge here at Fatima. Patrick constructed some beautiful benches and cleared out an area of our woods along the trails which is perfect for taking a break and reflecting. Come and visit us any time to walk the trails, visit Our Lady's shrine, pray the labyrinth or the outdoor Stations of the Cross and see the result of Patrick's hard work!
