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 the stay, you will share in 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.

* If you are under 21 years old, monks will have to arrange a special guest room for you outside the enclosure of the monastery. Please be patient with us if we are slow to respond. Or please plan your first visit as a group or with family.
