Calendar of Retreats
The retreat calendar for the Saint Benedict Guesthouse and Retreat Center lets you know what retreats are offered. The calendar updates seasonally, and the retreats vary from those led by the monks to those led by other entities. There is often room during the week for those who wish to make a private retreat, for a day or for a week. The guesthouse offers recently updated retreat rooms for overnight guests, a parking-level lobby, meeting rooms, and a commercial kitchen and dining room. Welcome!
