Earlier this week, Bergamo welcomed the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Region 6 interns and their supervising pastors from Ohio and Michigan for a time of retreat, reflection, learning, and fun!

We’re grateful for these emerging church leaders as they prepare for pastoral ministry and service in their church. It was a joy to provide a space for them and their mentors to deepen relationships, reflect on their call to ministry, and grow together in faith. What a joy to provide a space for renewal and connection as they prepare to serve their Church in the world!

We were happy to welcome our Marianist Directors to Bergamo this past weekend!

These priests and brothers serve as directors of Marianist communities throughout the United States, and they gathered at Bergamo for their annual meetings.
They prayed together, celebrated Mass, spent time in Adoration in our beautiful Roncalli Chapel, and enjoyed plenty of time to connect and relax together. And, of course, we were happy to “order up” a beautiful fall weekend so they could enjoy our grounds! 🍂

We’re grateful to have hosted these Marianist leaders and to share a little of the peace and beauty of Bergamo with them. 💙

New rockers = new favorite spot at Bergamo! 🪑🌿

We’ve added some comfy outdoor rockers to our courtyard—perfect for a little reading, praying, journaling, reflecting… or doing absolutely nothing at all. 😊

Sometimes peace looks like a quiet corner, a good book, and a little time to yourself.

Come sit a spell and experience the peace of Bergamo! 💚

We loved welcoming the faculty of United Theological Seminary to Bergamo last week for their annual faculty retreat! 💙

Their time together was focused on spiritual renewal, relational growth, and reconnecting—a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect, and recharge.

We’re grateful they chose Bergamo as their place for renewal! 🙏✨
