“I've been to many retreats at the Mercy Center in Auburn over the last 20 years. It is a beautiful, serene, simple retreat center, with excellent food. The grounds are beautiful, with towering redwoods and a fountain courtyard. Every room is a single. There are large shared bathrooms on the hall. The Center is available for both private guests who want a quiet place to rest and restore and also for larger groups, such as meditation groups or women's retreats. I have experienced the Center as both a private guest and as part of a larger group. In both situations I've found the staff to be gracious and helpful.”

“I have been here 4 or 5 times now. Great for sewing retreats. Great place for peace and quiet too. Rooms are dorm style, roomy and clean. Food has always been great, plentiful and good variety. Staff has always been pleasant and helpful when needed.”
Sue M. from San Francisco
“Hidden gem just outside Sacramento and down the hill from historic Auburn. Have attended several retreats that rented the facilities and the staff are excellent, the grounds picturesque, and the buildings and rooms are clean, well-appointed for modest stays, and very safe. Very well run (Executive Director Karla is so welcoming, inclusive and thoughtful!), spiritually calming (even for this atheist), and conveniently located!”

“I have been visiting Mercy Center Auburn for years now. Their retreat offerings are excellent and the service provided by the staff is second to none. I was able to stay in their hermitage room for a personal retreat last year and had a wonderful time. I cannot recommend Mercy Center enough.”
