St. Mary’s by the Sea – is a Catholic retreat house located next to the Cape May Lighthouse. Seven years ago St. Mary’s opened their doors to the men of HOPE (hosting a men’s retreat was a 1st for St. Mary’s); and we have been enjoying their hospitality every year since.

About 30 men attend the retreat and it's a great way to get further connected and meet other guys who attend HOPE.

The retreat begins Friday evening, arrive when you are able, if you arrive by 6pm there's dinner prepared. We "officially" kick off the weekend together around 8pm with our opening session together. And the weekend concludes on Sunday morning after our casual worship service together.

While on retreat there is plenty of free time to explore Cape May, the neighboring Cape May Lighthouse, the beaches, and the surrounding area. There will be time to play cards, cornhole, Frisbee, or just relax on the porch. Men have also tried fishing and metal detecting on the beach while on retreat.

Every man will have their own room; and there are private hallway bathrooms & showers. Please bring your own sheets/sleeping bag, pillow, towel, and toiletries.

Our meals are prepared and served by the St. Mary’s staff. See the schedule for meal times and please arrive promptly for each meal which is served cafeteria style.

Please bring a snack or two to be left in the dining area and shared with everyone.
