Monastic Discernment Retreat

Held at the monastery for Catholic men 18 to 45 years old considering the priesthood or brotherhood in the religious life.

Discern a vocation to the Benedictine monastic life with a discernment retreat at Mount Angel Abbey. Through our discernment retreats we seek to provide a personal experience and encounter with the monks behind the cloister.

While on retreat you can:

• Pray with the monks
• Join us for meals
• Tour the monastery cloister
• Listen to conferences on monastic life
• Hear vocation stories from the monks
• Spend time in quiet prayer
• Discern your vocation with monks and other retreatants
