Welcome to Mount St. Alphonsus!
Mount St. Alphonsus offers a dynamic approach to nourishing the soul, blending time-honored techniques with innovative methods of breaking down barriers that separate people from each other and from God.
Annually, the Mount hosts nearly 100 different retreat and conferences designed to refresh the mind, inspire the soul and unleash human potential. Nearly 10,000 people a year benefit from directed retreats, religious education programs and faith-based conferences that range in duration from a single day to a week.
Participants grow in holiness by enriching their physical, emotional and spiritual health in one of the most beautiful settings in the northeast. Many are transformed by the experience, gaining strength to overcome addiction and become the loving people God intended them to be.
Founded in 1904 by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, commonly known as the Redemptorists, the Mount has prepared thousands of clergy, religious and lay people for service to the Christian Church and society. Inspired by the Mount’s stunning location and strengthened by its innovative programs in pastoral counseling, spiritual development and recovery, they leave the majestic Hudson River Valley prepared to build a more just and peaceful world.
