Upcoming Events

Sharing the Journey

by Vic Klimoski, director

Cultivating and enriching one's spiritual life takes time - a commodity that grows more scarce each year. 

Guests of St. Paul's Monastery attending a Center event frequently tell us how glad they are they made space in their schedules to attend a retreat or workshop, to do a private day of reflection, or to view the current exhibit. Getting here is a challenge.

One of the ways to deal with the challenge is to invite a friend to join you. Sharing a common experience that generates fresh insights into the spiritual life doubles the investment of time, energy, and resources. Companionship can be a wonderful source of encourgagement and a new way to deepen a relationship.

The Sisters of St. Paul's Monastery are eager to share their rich, ancient spiritual heritage with all those seeking renewal, refreshment, and peace of mind.

Register online or by calling 651.777.7251.


Reflections from Others

"Thank you for the retreat. It was refreshing, renewing, restful and helpful."

Dave

“"My first time at the Benedictine Center was a most wonderful experience!. What could have been a very lonely time for me was instead a wonderful time of quiet, solitude, and peace. I hope to be back!"  

Stephen

"The Center has been an immense contributor to my spiritual development...and I am on the path Home. Thank you all deeply.”   

Linda

“I have had just the right balance of solitude and community. What a blessing to be able to be apart without feeling alone on my journey.”

Carolyn
