Given this time of concern regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), consistent with the actions taken by the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, the St. Iakovos Retreat Center Board of Directors is suspending all onsite activities and retreats until May 1. The Retreat Center takes seriously the health, wellness and safety of our guests and visitors. We understand that the situation is fluid and continue to monitor it closely. Additionally, the Retreat Center has implemented precautionary measures, and is following the recommendations of the CDC and public health officials. Furthermore, during this time of suspended activities, the staff will conduct a deep cleaning and disinfecting of buildings and facilities.
Thank you for your support as we implement this essential decision for the safety and protection of all. We look forward to resuming activities and retreats as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. In this time of uncertainty, please join us in prayer, especially for those whose health is at high risk of being affected by COVID-19.
