It is within the grounds of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre situated on Woolwich Street to the west of Riverside Park.

In 1962, the decision was made by the Society of Jesus to sell the site and move the centre to Guelph.

From 1962 construction began on the spirituality centre in Guelph, helped by financial assistance from Bishop Joseph Ryan of Hamilton.

Veltri and English changed this by providing points for prayer through daily interviews with the retreatants, giving personal one-to-one spiritual direction.
