The center offers workshops and retreats that are designed to help Catholics deepen their faith, grow spiritually, and develop holiness through everyday life.

The History of Arnold Hall
Arnold Hall was founded in 1949 by Father John F. Cronin, who was then the chaplain at Boston College. Father Cronin envisioned a place where Catholics could come together to pray, reflect on their faith, and find inspiration for living out their beliefs in daily life. He purchased an old mansion on the outskirts of Boston with funds donated by generous benefactors who shared his vision.
Over the years, Arnold Hall has grown into one of the premier Catholic retreat centers in New England. It has hosted thousands of people from all walks of life who have come seeking spiritual guidance and renewal.
The Mission of Arnold Hall
At Arnold Hall, our mission is to provide a welcoming environment where Catholics can deepen their relationship with God through prayer, reflection on Scripture, sacraments such as confession or Mass attendance (if available), fellowship with other believers or seekers alike while enjoying nature's beauty around them.
We believe that everyone has a unique path to holiness that requires individual attention and care. Our programs are designed to meet people where they are on their journey towards God so they can grow spiritually at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed or pressured.
