Pelican House Facilities
The Pelican House building can accommodate up to 10 retreatants plus two hosts / retreat leaders. The
individual sleeping rooms have one or two single beds, a small desk and dresser. Three in-home
style bathrooms are shared. The facility has a common living area, which can be used as a casual
meeting space, and a kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave (meals are served
in the Trinity Center dining room). An oratory looks out over the ocean and can be used both for
meditation and services. One of the finest features of Pelican House is the cupola at the top of
the house, with superb views over the ocean, eminently suited for solitary meditation. This cupola is accessed by way of a spiral stairway, making it the only area not accessible to persons with
physical handicaps. There are two outside porches: one screened and one open. Adjacent to Pelican
House is the Prayer Garden and a pathway through the maritime forest with the Stations of the Cross.
