Come & See
A Monastic Experience Weekend
Spend a weekend inside the rhythm of monastic life.
Prayer. Community. Silence.
A simple invitation to see more clearly what God may be asking.
Have you felt a quiet pull toward a deeper relationship with God?
The monks of Glastonbury Abbey invite you to step inside their life for a weekend—
not as a visitor, but as a participant.
This is not a retreat.
It is simply time in the monastery.
WHAT THIS WEEKEND IS
During a Monastic Experience Weekend, you will:
- Pray the Divine Office with the monks
- Share meals and conversation
- Spend time in silence, prayer, and reflection
You will stay in the retreat house and follow the natural rhythm of the community.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This weekend is for unmarried Roman Catholic men who:
- Are seeking a life centered on prayer
- Feel drawn to community and simplicity
- Are seriously discerning a monastic vocation
UPCOMING WEEKENDS

WHAT TO EXPECT
There is no program schedule to complete and no pressure to decide anything.
You are invited to listen, observe, and take part—at your own pace.
Silence is respected.
Conversation is natural.
The rhythm of the day speaks for itself.
BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION
If you’re not able to attend a scheduled weekend, you are welcome to arrange a personal visit at another time.
If something in you is stirring, it’s worth paying attention.
