Experience the Life

You are invited to join us for a respite of prayer, work, rest, and recreation.  We offer visits to men aged 18-50 who would like to get a taste of monastic life before deciding to answer the call.

The program can be scheduled around your availability and is open-ended; you may spend a few days or an entire week at the Abbey. During your stay, you will share the life of the monks, including prayer, spiritual reading, manual labor, daily conferences, exercise and rest.

This is a unique opportunity for you to better understand monastic life and consider the possibility that you are called to it yourself.
