We are a small retreat and conference center. Located in the Portland metro area, primarily to serve Catholic entities with their mission, but other groups are welcome to rent the facility. We rent the entire building to groups and their participants; individual rooms are not available for rent or private retreats.

The Griffin Center is nestled between La Salle High School and Christ the King Parish. Once a convent, it was completely remodeled in 2003 to act as a retreat house, education & conference center. It is also the home to the Ministry Formation Office which helps to educate lay ministers in our parishes and schools. The large campus offers a nice quiet atmosphere for any event such as a staff retreat or meeting. If you would like to tour the facility or find out more information on the programs held for lay ministers. Please feel free to call, write or visit.

We offer day and overnight accommodations. Day use maximum is 60 people, 27 for overnight accommodations. Here is a list of available spaces within the Griffin Center:

4 Classrooms with presentation stations (dry erase board & audio/visual)
