Welcome


St Joseph’s Centre for Reflective Living is set in spacious grounds in Baulkham Hills, north west of Sydney’s CBD and Harbour.

Formerly the House of Formation of the Sisters of St Joseph, the Centre has been attractively refurbished, providing a range of facilities for retreats, conferences, chapters, seminars, workshops and functions.

On rolling countryside, the Centre is an oasis pleasantly situated among trees, paddocks, lawns and gardens. It offers accommodation and courses to those seeking time for prayer, study, reflection and faith education.

You can visit the photo gallery and our facilities to explore the centre yourself and see why St Joseph’s Centre should be the venue for your next special event.

Please contact us if you have any questions. Our staff looks forward to hearing from you and assisting you with your event.
