Monastery Guesthouse Update: Renovations and Reservations
The Monastery Guesthouse is currently closed to guests on private retreat as we continue the full remodeling of our commercial kitchen and substantial upgrades for Guesthouse accessibility.
We hope to complete these renovations soon and welcome guests again by early September of this year.
In addition, our online reservation system for private retreats 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 our 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 new scheduling structure and updated policies for all guests on retreat once we reopen:
- Arrival Days: Arrivals are limited to Tuesdays and Fridays.
- Tuesday Arrivals: Stays beginning on a Tuesday require a minimum of 3 nights and a maximum of 5 nights.
- Friday Arrivals: Stays beginning on a Friday are for exactly 2 nights.
- Departures: Retreatants should depart by 9:30 am on the day of departure. 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, monastery church and Giftshop.
Giftshop Hours
The Giftshop will be open to daytime visitors from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00pm to 3:30 pm, Tuesday through 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 Giftshop is closed on Mondays.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of transition.
