La Salle Manor Retreat and Conference Center

La Salle Manor is a retreat and conference center dedicated to human development within religious, civic, and educational communities through continuing education and spiritual development. La Salle Manor Retreat Center is a place for people of all ages and faiths to reflect on their lives, discover God’s love and peace.

The foundation of this ministry is guided by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, founded by St. John Baptist de La Salle, the Patron Saint of Teachers. Since 1958, the Manor has engaged in serving others by carrying on the mission of touching hearts and transforming lives through spiritual retreat experiences, particularly for high school students. The Manor is dedicated to providing a place of hospitality for peaceful and creative growth for individuals and groups.

The Lasallian mission is an expression of God’s loving concern, oriented particularly toward the wellbeing of the young and the poor, and lived out in association. Lasallian communities are a visible sign of the presence of God.

The Manor property spans 47 acres in rural Plano, Illinois, approximately 60 miles

from Chicago.  The Lodge includes spacious meeting rooms, a chapel, a dining area, a game room and dormitory accommodations for retreatants and visitors. 

The grounds include adjacent buildings including Elizabeth House, the home for

the President/Executive Director and their family and Timothy House, residential accommodations for the retreat staff. Fostering a collaborative community is a

high priority for the Manor president and living in community enhances 

opportunities for promoting the Lasallian mission as St. John Baptiste DeLaSalle

did in the1600s.
