But most of all, I sought for peace
Within myself, in You.

OUR FACILITIES
Nurturing Spirit and Mind in Nature's Embrace
Just a few minutes from downtown Dayton, Ohio, the Bergamo Center is hidden away from day-to-day, city-life stress. Situated on Mount Saint John and its 150 acres of both beautifully manicured grounds and wooded trails, Bergamo Center is a place to slow down and renew the spirit, refresh the body and expand the mind. Our Lady of Lourdes grotto is just one of many spots on the grounds to spend time in quiet meditation. In fact, many groups comment on how they immediately feel the calming effect of the grounds and facility once they enter the property.

"It was fabulous to be at a retreat center so close to UD and so welcoming. Bergamo Staff were so willing to help with everything and were incredibly supportive of our leaders."
