Details

The Monks of St. Joseph's Abbey welcome you for a period of retreat and spiritual nourishment. Below are some important retreat details:

Retreats at St. Joseph's Abbey allow retreatants to share in the public prayer of the monks, including daily Mass. A monk retreat master will give a conference and be available for conversation and Confession during the retreat. You will be able to visit our gift shop. The road that leads to the the retreat house is a good place for a walk. The silence of the abbey and a respite from the internet enhances the time of prayer and reflection. Three meals are served each day.

Retreats are offered from 3:00pm Monday to 9:00am Friday, and from 3:00pm Friday to Sunday noon. The cost of a retreat is $500 for a midweek retreat and $250 for a weekend retreat.
