Directions to St. Charles Center for Bayou Quarterly – it's really easy!

From either direction (heading east from Houston/Galveston or west from BR/NO) travel I-10 to Lake Charles.

Turn north on Hwy 171 toward DeRidder…but stop in Moss Bluff. At the red light at Highway 378, turn LEFT toward Sam Houston Jones State Park.

Travel 2.5 miles. The retreat center is on the left. There is a lighted sign but also woods so keep an eye out. On the right side of the road is a green highway department sign which reads “Catholic Retreat Center.”

Turn onto the retreat grounds. It is a paved driveway which curves through woods. Our facility is on the left, ¼ mile from the highway. Drexel Center.
