About Us

“It is not enough that you love the young, they must know they are loved.” – St. John Bosco

We offer a place of peace and prayer, providing day-long, half-day and overnight retreat accommodations, programs and meals.  We also provide additional programs for First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation, as well as catechetical programs, on and off-site to people of all ages to promote on-going faith formation.

Multiple locations offer the possibility of different experiences.  Spaces will be afforded to each group according to the number of participants registered for a given weekend.  We are dedicated to young people, and because of that, we give preference to youth and young adults groups desiring to hold their retreats at our center.  

Sacred Heart Center currently provides hospitality for numerous church groups and diocesan offices from Newark, Paterson, Metuchen, and New York.  We also provide hospitality to faculty groups, senior class groups and more.
