COVID-19 VACCINATION NOT REQUIRED AT THIS TIME.

Private retreats are unguided and flexible to accommodate your schedule. If you are new to the Spirituality Center, you MUST arrive Monday - Friday between 9:30 and 3:00 pm. A tour is necessary if you haven't been here before, and these are the hours when a tour is available.

ANYONE ELSE MUST ARRIVE BEFORE CLOSING TIME AT THE MONASTERY, 6:00 PM. ARRIVING LATER WILL MEAN THERE IS NO ONE TO LET YOU IN OR HELP YOU, AND OUR PHONE IS NOT MONITORED.

Retreatants have access to the Priory Chapel for the Liturgy of the Hours and Mass.

Time with God

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very peaceful. Its so hard to have any quiet time to be with God and a getaway here is ideal for me. I was able to read and write in a quiet study room as well. I know I will be back. I want more time with God away from the noise and distractions of society and this makes it possible. Thank you so much and see you soon. God bless,

great place

I love this place and tender care that people put in maintaining it. I also feel the presence of the Higher Power in this place.

The solitary retreat I needed

The sisters and staff were gently welcoming. I read, wrote, walked the grounds, dined with the sisters, attended services, contemplated. It was a perfect setting and time and my soul is the better for it.

Hybrid: Continuing Contemplative Rest

This monthly contemplative experience is an excellent way to help me live out my Benedictine intention to live in the world in a calm and helpful way. There are many things that tend to distract me from intentional living and the work we do together in contemplative rest helps me live peacefully outside those distractions. I find I am much more focused on what's important when I have rested together with those present on the first Saturdays.

Perfect Pause

My experience was one of feeling completely unplugged and at the same time completely present for a whole different pace. Kind reception, great nap, deep reading, quiet walks, meals in silence, and participating in the Psalms topped off by a bit of retail (fiber art purchases). It was pretty much perfect. Betty G
