Here is important information about housing accommodations for Convocation 2017.

St. Anne Retreat Center used to be a convent, there are very few double rooms (only four, actually), and they have all been reserved already.

There are elevators in both buildings. The first floor bathroom in one building is designated “Handicap Accessible”, but there is still a lip at the edge of the shower. No roll-in showers are available.

Most of the rooms at St. Anne Retreat Center have no air conditioning. This can be a problem in June in Kentucky, USA! If you need air conditioning and register by mail, please write a note on the registration form requesting a room with air conditioning and state why you need it. If you register online, please also send an email to [email protected] detailing your need for air conditioning. If all the air conditioned rooms have been assigned before your registration is received, we will let you know.

Local : If you prefer, there are motels in the vicinity, although the nearest ones are all booked up because of other events. In a you would be assured of air conditioning, bathrooms are more likely to be wheelchair friendly, and double rooms for couples would be an option. If you choose to stay off-site, your registration fee of $205 would cover all meals at St. Anne Retreat Center, as well as Convocation booklets and other materials. Arrangements for transportation to and from a motel to Convocation would be up to you.

The following is a list of motels that are not too far from the Convocation site. This list is for your convenience only, and not to be understood as recommendations.

There are other motels closer to the airport, but these seemed the most likely choices.
