Marguerite Centre
Marguerite Centre is a spirituality and conference centre in Pembroke Ont., Canada. We are located in the Upper Ottawa Valley along the Ottawa River.
We provide space for people to explore and learn, balance and grow, through our core work of hospitality.
We are committed to a holistic, ecumenical and inter-religious ministry from a Catholic perspective. We are dedicated to the values of contemplation and community, earth literacy, the local economy and sustainability. In small, daily ways, we are working toward the transformation of ourselves and our world.
