If you are flying to this retreat you will want to fly to the Pittsburgh airport. If you are driving it is just south of route 80. If you would like more specific directions you can find them here.
PS
For some reason they don’t show directions coming from the east. It’s easy though. Coming west on I80 take 79 South to route 422
# Follow Route 422 West to New Castle.
# Continue on Route 422 West approximately 8 miles to Evergreen Rd.
# Turn left on Evergreen Road and follow for approximately 1 mile.
# Look for the blue Sisters of the Humility of Mary sign at the corner of Evergreen and Villa Marie Roads.
# Turn right onto Villa Marie Road, then turn left at the second driveway, directly across from the cemetery (pond on right).
# The Conference Center is to the left.

YES! The closest airport is Pittsburgh. Some people are going to rent a car together to drive from the airport to The Gathering… if you like I will put you in touch with them. Welcome Ellie!
