Outdoor Benches at JRH

"Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest."

Jesuit Retreat House has always been a special place of peace where the weary pilgrim can find rest.  Now, thanks to the generosity of donors, JRH has nice new outdoor benches where the weary can sit!  17 sturdy Amish-made benches were installed in early May, and may be found spread throughout the 57 acres of JRH grounds.

  • Bench #1 - donated by Mary Jo Lackamp - is located in the cemetery path facing the crucifix.

  • Bench #2 - donated by Janet - is located on the cemetery path facing the crucifix.

  • Bench #3 - donated by John Lesjak - is located along the path in the cemetery.  

  • Bench #4 - donated by Helen Mural - is located near the St. Vincent de Paul statue.

  • Bench #5 - donated by Paul & Theresa Hruby - is located on the path near the Sacred Heart statue.

  • Bench #6 - donated by Jean Reese - is located at the far northeast corner of the meadow.

  • Bench #7 - donated by the Michael & Jo Ann Hatgas Family - is located in the middle of the meadow on the north side.

  • Bench #8 - donated by Cathy & Russ Sheerin, Jr. - is located along the south side of the parking lot.

  • Bench #9 - donated by Sheila & Pete Irmiter - is located in front of the shrine of St. Joseph.

  • Bench #10 - donated by the JRH staff - is located in the center of the maple trees near the basketball court.

  • Bench #11 - donated by Timothy I. Flahive - is located across from the Sacred Heart statue.

  • Bench #12 - donated by Kathleen Yarish Pentek - is located in the pine trees east of the statue of St. Ignatius.

  • Bench #13 - donated by Darlene Dolens - is located along the driveway near the south side of the retreat house.

  • Bench #14 - donated by Jim Ohliger - is located along the back edge of the retreat house, facing west.

  • Bench #15 - donated by Edward & Margarita Chmielarski - is located along the serenity prayer path.

  • Bench #16 - donated by Jim & Barbara Leggott - is located along the driveway in the woods near the prayer garden.

  • Bench #17 - donated by Frank & Betty Jannazo - is located at the base of the prayer garden.

The Jesuit Retreat House is grateful to all the generous donors who helped make these benches possible.  Thank you for your generosity!

I thank my God every time I remember you, 
constantly praying with joy in every one of my 
prayers for all of you, because of your sharing 
in the gospel from the first day until now.
