Starting May 15, 2025 the guesthouse units will be closed for renovations. There will be no retreats or guest rooms available until late summer. We will post on this site when the guesthouse will reopen as soon as we know it. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we refurbish the units to make them more safe and more accommodating for our retreatants. Blessings.
Hospitality - Mission Statement
It was the monastic scholar Sr Aquinata Böckmann OSB who first observed that there was a 'theology of three tables' in the Rule of St Benedict and this is at the heart of monastic hospitality. It begins with the table of the Eucharist where God the Father gives his only Son as food for us. This overflows to the table of fellowship in the monastic refectory, which in turn overflows to the table of welcome in our monastic guesthouse. The pictures below demonstrate this progression.
