Planning Your Retreat

Schedule a tour of our lovely property and full-scale retreat/camp facility. Plan your retreat your way. Our pricing allows group leaders to choose only those services and meals needed.

Ideal Location

Stillwater is located in rural Abbeville, LA, a short drive from anywhere in Acadiana; making it easy for retreat participants and staff to come, and convenient for guest staff, speakers, priests, and other invited visitors to attend special sessions.

The Difference

By planning your next retreat or day of reflection at Stillwater, you are participating in the life-changing work of Family Missions Company. We believe the Lord is calling many Catholic lay people to serve the poor and proclaim the Gospel in foreign missions, “the greatest and holiest duty of the Church.” Your retreat at Stillwater helps FMC to answer that call.
