Maris Stella Retreat & Conference Center

Maris Stella is a retreat and conference center run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, part of the Diocese of Trenton. It hosts weeklong summer retreats, private reflection days, sabbatical time and conferences, with Mass celebrated in its chapel. Guests come for prayer and quiet as well as family and friends gathering together.

The center sits on the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay in Harvey Cedars, with accommodations in both oceanside and bayside buildings. Retreat registration and program details are available through its website, and the center also runs a Labor Day 50/50 raffle to support its mission of hospitality.
