Betania II Spiritual and Retreat Center, Medway, Massachusetts


Read Special Section

Betania II originated from Servant of God, Maria Esperanza, where she was divinely led to this land by Our Blessed Mother. Located on 109 acres, Betania II serves as a spiritual life center that offers retreat facilities that feature generous meeting spaces, Our Lady's oratory (600 seating), Our Lady's grotto, large dining room with a fully equipped commercial kitchen, gift shop, Stations of the Cross, and a beautiful adoration chapel.

Nestled among the pines, the House of St. Francis and St. Clare offers 72 rooms equipped with two twin beds, private bath, air conditioning, and balconies. There is also a private prayer room, large meeting room, and spacious landings on upper floors. The foyer provides a generous gathering space with an adjacent small kitchen and dining area.

The outside grounds feature serene walking paths through the tall trees and natural streams. Visitors can spend time in prayer and reflection at Our Lady's grotto. The grotto grounds have just been newly beautified for quiet contemplation and gatherings of large groups. The grotto was built at the location where Maria Esperanza would pray to Our Lord and Blessed Mother.

Betania II is not only a place to host retreats and events, but a place of divine mission -- to lead the community and the world to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and Our Lady as their mother. It was built as a place of refuge, prayer, peace, community, reconciliation and conversion, where Our Lady, reconciler of all people and nations, draws hearts closer to God and to one another.
