A Benedictine Experience of Praying Through the Seasons

The monks of Glastonbury Abbey welcome you to come experience the rhythm of Monastic Prayer. Come sing the psalms, pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and attend daily Mass at the monastery. Benedictine spirituality extends from these times of prayer, which enrich and guide us as we move through the seasons of the year and our lives.
Monday, October 21 - Thursday, October 24, Fall: Living a Benedictine-Focussed Life Outside the Monastery - the last in the series.
Suggested donation per retreat: $330 includes 3-nights' accommodation, meals and program.
