Details

St Francis Retreat Center

In addition to what a private retreat offers one has the option of attending conferences on various aspects of contemplative live and practice.

A private retreat offers one the opportunity to set one's retreat format while emphasizing silence, personal prayer and reflection. Retreatants are also invited to join the monks in their public prayer as often as desired. Spiritual Mentoring for a 30 minute meeting with a monk and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation are available.

Rooms in the brand-new St. Francis Retreat Center include a bed, desk, reading chair, and private bath. Bed linens, towels, and soap are provided. Married couples can be accommodated in adjoining rooms.

Retreatants take their meals together in a dining facility adjacent to the monastic community’s refectory, with the same vegetarian diet and observing the same silence as the monks. During the main meal at noon a book is read aloud by one of the monks for the benefit of all.

Retreatants may attend any and all prayer services in the Abbey Church and have a designated section in the monastic choir to accommodate them, if they so desire. One of the monks assists the retreatants with the order of prayer so as to facilitate their full participation. St Francis Retreat Center

Spiritual counseling and sacramental reconciliation (Confession) are available upon request. The Clare Boothe Luce Library is open to retreatants Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
