In Silence and Meditation, we listen to the voice of God. There is joy in all His Works. Take Time To Pray and ponder God's Love and His beauty that surrounds you.

 

RETREAT, A Time for You and God

Take time away from your daily schedule and join with the monks in a retreat.

Either a guided retreat program can be offered, or if you like you can make your own daily routine to take time away from the world and its stress.

We offer many retreat programs to meet your schedule and also many work shops to guide you through your daily life and its routines which sometimes can be overwhelming. Participate with the monks in our daily prayer life and of course the celebration of Mass. Time time and discuss your journey with us.  Reconcile your life with God and be renewed and refreshed in spirit.

Visit with Jesus in The Blessed Sacrement, take walks along paths, listen to the Silence where God can speak to your heart.

 

 

Let All the wonders and works of the Lord give Him Praise.

Come Home to Open Arms, Open Doors and Open Hearts

 

Being present to those who need both spiritual as well as material goods. This is where Jesus suffers the most. Being able to see the face of Christ in all those whom we may come in contact with or who may knock on our door. This is one of the prime rules and vows of a Benedictine Monk. This is called, "Hospitality". Sharing and giving with others in all their needs As Christ Himself,  "For I was hungry and you gave me food to eat."  Thus Following Jesus' call of living the "Beatitudes."

You who are weary, oppressed, disenfranchised by society or the Church, abused by the clergy or the feeling you have been left out of God's Love or forgiveness. The divorced man or woman, the gay man or woman who have been told they can no longer have Christ's mercy or they will not see Heaven.  Come, receive the love and openess of the Gospel that Jesus gives us.
