The principal building on the property, the Priory of St. Therese, was the country home of a wealthy financier from New York City. In the 100 years since it was built, the house has remained a beautiful reminder of a gracious life style. Those traveling to Mahwah in the first years of the house's existence found a beautiful Hudson Valley Georgian house perched on a stony rise in the midst of the Ramapo River Valley.

The house remains a well preserved reflection of that time. A large, hard wood floored, chandelier lit foyer is the main entrance off of the central courtyard. A grand staircase ascends to the second floor. There is comfortable living room and an intimate beautifully appointed dining room. Fireplaces adorn three rooms. At the top of the house nestled in the eaves is a quiet reading room. Most rooms have magnificent views of the Ramapo River Valley which is breathtaking in every season.

Two mid sized meeting rooms are located in this building. The first, on the main floor, holds up to 35 in theater style seating, 25 in circular seating, and 20 for table seating. The second midsized meeting area is on the second floor and is suitable for groups of 5 to 10. A large meeting room with a capacity of 75 theater style, and 50 in circular seating and at tables has full audio video service, a kitchenette with a refrigerator / freezer, a microwave, and a large coffee / hot water brewer. Large restrooms are located nearby.

The Chapel is rustic, wood paneled, cozy and very quiet. It holds 40-50 comfortably. It is available for quiet prayer and reflection much of the day. Guests are invited to participate in Sunday Mass at 11:30 AM. The Chapel is also available for other worship services. Please contact us in regard to this.
