Making a Visit

Contact us now to reserve a space and time to visit our Monastery. Experience for yourself the rhythm of the monastic schedule, pray the Liturgy of the Hours with the Sisters, share the richness of the common table, and participate in community life. You'll have the opportunity to feel the spirit of the community and allow it to become part of you.

The best time to visit is during a Benedictine Life Weekend or a Benedictine Life Week, which is held in the summer. You make no commitment by attending a Benedictine Life Weekend or Week, and there's no charge. (We do ask you to provide your own transportation.)

In addition to experiencing monastic life, you'll meet other women your age who are also discerning about religious life. Sharing your story with them and hearing their stories can strengthen and clarify your own call.

Our visiting week and visiting weekends are for single, Catholic women, ages 18-40, who are discerning a religious vocation.
