Monastery Guesthouse Update: Renovations and Reservations
The Monastery Guesthouse is currently closed to overnight guests as we undergo a full remodeling of our commercial kitchen and substantial upgrades for Guesthouse accessibility. We hope to complete these renovations and welcome guests again by August 1, 2026.
Alongside the physical construction, our online reservation system is undergoing a complete redesign. At this time, we do not have a definitive launch date for the new system to go live. Until the redesigned system is active, we are unable to accept any reservations, process manual bookings, or hold specific dates. We kindly ask that you continue to monitor this website for updates regarding when the system will be able to take reservations.
New Guesthouse Parameters
As you look forward to planning a future retreat, please be aware that we will be implementing a strict new scheduling structure and updated policies for all overnight guests once we reopen:
- Arrival Days: Arrivals are strictly limited to Tuesdays and Fridays.
- Tuesday Arrivals: Stays beginning on a Tuesday require a minimum of 2 nights and a maximum of 5 nights.
- Friday Arrivals: Stays beginning on a Friday are for exactly 2 nights.
- Departures: All guests must depart on Sundays. We no longer host overnight guests on Sunday or Monday nights.
- Capacity and Groups: Our maximum capacity is now limited to 10 guests. We are no longer able to host groups. All stays are for individual, self-directed retreats.
Day visitors are still welcome to visit the grounds, chapel, and gift shop during these months of construction.
Giftshop Hours
The Giftshop will be open to daytime visitors from 09:30 am to 12:30 pm and 2:00pm to 3:30pm Tuesday-Saturday.
On Sundays, the Conventual Mass is at 9:15 am and the Giftshop will be open from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.
The Gifsthop is closed on Mondays and during certain monastic observances.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of transition.
