At Saint Benedict’s Monastery, we seek God in our everyday lives. This includes spiritually nourishing ourselves. We do this through traditional prayer of Liturgy of the Hours (a prayer for the world) three times a day, regular Eucharist, annual retreats, and periods of rest, silence and contemplation.
Guests are invited to nourish their own spirituality by joining us in prayer and worship. All are welcome to join us in praying Liturgy of the Hours, celebrating Eucharist, and participating in special community celebrations, such as the Feast of St. Benedict. Many sisters and volunteers also share their love of liturgy through singing in the monastic schola (the monastery choir), serving as Eucharistic ministers and lectors, and ringing bells and chimes in the handbell choir.
Another way we invite others to nourish their own spirituality is through various programs, retreats and opportunities at our Spirituality Center•Studium. This sacred space responds to the human longing for God and invites others to join the monastic community in deepening relationships with God, self, others, and all creation. Women and men of all faith traditions and cultures are welcome here!
The Spirituality Center•Studium offers a variety of experiences to nourish your faith, refresh your soul, and feed your spiritual hunger:
- Attend a program or retreat, which include spiritual R & R days, writing workshops, intensive prayer retreats, education on social justice issues, book studies, and retreats to immerse yourself in the monastery’s most sacred celebrations.
- Make your own retreat and enjoy solitude and reflection in one of our hermitages for a day, a couple of days, or a week.
- Center yourself by walking the labyrinth.
- Engage in spiritual direction with a certified spiritual director trained to accompany you on your spiritual journey.
- Commit yourself to a project in Studium, the monastery’s program for scholars. Studium provides time and space to work on your project while engaging with the monastic community.
#LikeaCatholicSister, we commit ourselves to nourishing our spirituality and inviting others to walk the journey with us.
