Mount St. Alphonsus is currently a Redemptorist Retreat which opens it's doors to all faiths.
In the early 1900s the Redemptorists were in search of land for a seminary. They looked throughout Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and numerous properties
along the Hudson before buying 235 acres from Robert Livingston Pell. Over time, neighboring properties were donated to the mount bringing it's current
area to about 400 acres. It's building and trails are visited by thousands each year.
construction was started on the building in 1904 and finished in 1907. The main building, made of stone, is approximately 200,000 square feet, has over 92 bedrooms spread over 6 floors. It's conference rooms seat between 45 and 300, and it's dinning hall seats 250. In addition, many of the original
farm building still exist on the property. The Mount's chapel is known "as one of the world's most beautiful" with it's stained glass windows, marble
floors, statues (some dating to the 1500s), relics, and other items including a cassock once worn by Pope Pius X.
Seminary students raised cattle, pigs, chickens and grew crops on the property. Wine, used for Mass, was made on the property. In 1985 with only 16 seminarians,
the program was transferred to the Washington Theological Union in Washington, DC. The house ministry was then changed to a retreat program.
