St. Anthony Retreat Garden


ST. ANTHONY Retreat is a spiritual oasis for people of all ages for individual and group gatherings. It is a unique combination of park and garden that provides peace for the mind, body, and soul. Follow the walkways to discover the beauty of the landscape, both natural and manicured, while visting the Stations of the Cross statues that are tucked away among the trees and boulders.

BUILT in 1963 in the contemporary Franciscan Mission style, today St. Anthony Retreat provides a comfortable, peaceful, and naturally beautiful setting for retreats, as well as both religious and secular conferences and gatherings, with dining and overnight accommodations for up to 100 guests.

THE RETREAT is located on 60 acres overlooking the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River, 4 miles from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. At an elevation of 1,250 feet, St. Anthongy Retreat enjoys year-round access, well below the snow line. The grounds include landscaped gardens and courtyards, and magnificent views of the Sierra Nevada high country and its snow-covered mountains. Walking trails abound, meandering through open grasslands and blue oak woodlands that host a variety of animals, birds, and plants that are native to the Upper Sonoran Zone.
