Mercy Center at Madison Campus: 33 sacred waterfront acres

Re-opening in Spring 2012, Mercy Center is a leading spirituality center set on Long Island Sound that has been welcoming individuals, groups and businesses for their meeting and formation needs since 1972.  During renovation of the Grant Building, smaller groups are finding welcome in our Seascape Guest House.

Flexible Meeting Spaces & Resources
Mercy Center has a wide variety of meeting rooms accommodating small, intimate circles of up to ten people to larger spaces supporting groups of 100 or more. All have easy access, technology hook ups and, if required, proximity to other break-out rooms.

Health and Nutrition
Food is the highest quality, prepared on premises from local farms and sources.

Overnight Accommodations
Overnight stays are easily accommodated with 27 new single and double occupancy rooms, each with a private shower and bath. Simply and tastefully decorated in neutral tones with organic linens, each guest room provides a quiet sanctuary for reflection, conversation and rest.

Grant Building: Consistent with our commitment to preserving natural resources and the environment, our main meeting and event space has been constructed with earth-friendly, highly efficient materials, and retrofitted with systems that minimize waste without sacrificing performance. Guests who stay at Mercy Center can host successful meetings and preserve the environment at the same time. The Grant Building is open for single and group reservations beginning Spring, 2012.

Seascape Guest House: Seascape is a unique, modern stand-alone home facing Long Island Sound on the Mercy Center campus. It offers bedrooms for overnight stays for up to 16 guests, complete with a large-full service kitchen and group meetings for up to 20 people. Whether it is a silent retreat or brainstorming session, Seascape is an intimate environment located on our campus providing uninterrupted sanctuary. Seascape is now open and accepting reservations.

Come On Your Own:  Mercy Center's main building (Grant) is being transformed with earth-friendly, efficient materials, newly designed floor plans, meeting and overnight guest rooms for the comfort of our guests.  The campus, too, is being redesigned to maximize use of its 33-acre property.  We will be fully re-opened to guests and the public in Spring, 2012.  Due to construction, unsupervised campus visits will not be possible until re-opening.
