Come and See

Have you ever wondered what life in a Benedictine monastery is like or if it would be a good fit for you?

Spend a weekend living in the Abbey:

  • Praying with the monks in the choir stalls.

  • Eating in the refectory.

  • Sleeping in a monastic cell.

  • Getting to know the monks around the monastery.

Ask the questions your vocation discernment has uncovered, "test the spirits," and discover if God has called you to the monastic life at Saint John's Abbey.
