The Retreat Center includes 16 guest rooms featuring bathrooms that are private, or shared by two adjoining bedrooms. Rooms are either single- or double-occupancy configurations, and four rooms are designed for guests with physical disabilities. Groups of up to 28 people can be comfortably accommodated.

Multipurpose areas include two conference rooms and a breakout room, augmented by the Cathedral Center Church, Lazarus Chapel, the Great Hall, the Christian Education Resource Center, the Cathedral Bookstore, and varied program offices. The kitchen/dining area provides all the comforts of home including coffee service and refrigerator. Three meals per day are included in the cost for each guest.

Ample parking below the Center is secured at all times.

The Retreat Center fulfills retired Bishop Frederick Borsch's original concept for the complex: "I envision our Center as a place of great hospitality -- a place where we can welcome each other and guests," the bishop wrote while the Cathedral Center was in the early planning stages. "It will be a place of beauty where we can walk and sit and pray, a place set apart and still in the midst of a busy lively neighborhood and attached to an active, committed parish family."

These goals have been realized thanks to the dedication and caring of the Retreat Center staff, headed by Director Rebecca Merwin.
