A place set apart—where silence has room to speak, and rest is not an interruption but the whole point.
Cabrini Retreat Center sits on a quiet stretch of County Line Road in Barrington, a short drive from the bustle of Chicago but worlds away from it. The property was founded on a simple conviction: that people need places to slow down, to be still, and to reconnect—with themselves, with each other, with something larger.
Whether you are gathering a group for a weekend of reflection, leading a workshop, or simply seeking a room with a view and a door that closes, this is a place that understands the difference between lodging and staying.
We welcome all who come in good faith—faith communities, nonprofit organizations, families, and individuals—offering not just a building, but an atmosphere.
Clean, comfortable rooms designed for rest—not luxury for its own sake, but comfort that lets you set the world down for a while.
A dining area, lounges, and gathering rooms built for conversation—or for the kind of silence that only works when shared.
Walkways, trees, and open sky. The property invites wandering, sitting alone, or finding a bench with nothing to do but watch the light change.
Our main hall accommodates groups of various sizes with flexible seating, projection capability, and a kitchen for meals. It is a space that works equally well for a board retreat, a spiritual direction weekend, a memorial gathering, or a quiet conference.
Smaller rooms are available for breakout sessions, one-on-one meetings, or private prayer. The Wi-Fi is reliable; the quiet is deeper.
