Our Story

Embracing Diversity

​Set in the Buckinghamshire market town of Princes Risborough, St. Scholastica's Retreat consists of 36 self-contained flats, Warden's house and a community building which includes a Guest Suite for residents to use for their short stay visitors.

​​

St Scholastica's has been providing warden assisted sheltered accommodation to Roman Catholics over the age of 60 who are of limited financial means since 1861.​​

"The Community Room is a great place to meet and the laundry and guest facilities an added bonus"  
  "I'm able to live independently but within a friendly community"
"Love my '10 minutes from everything' cosy flat nestling here in the leafy Chiltern Hills "
 "It's so easy to walk into town to shop or catch the bus or train"
 "The Residents are all so friendly and made me feel so welcome when I moved in" 
  "It's a safe place to live and reassuring to have our Warden
 on site"
