Jesus said to them, “Come and see.”  They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him. -- John 1:39

--

Experience monastic living …

Immerse yourself in the life of a Benedictine monastery for a week.  Join the Sisters of Saint Benedict, Crookston, in their life of prayer, work and leisure.  Meet the sisters and learn first-hand from them about life in a monastic community.  Perhaps God is calling you to monastic life – and then perhaps not.  This will give you the opportunity to grow, to enrich your life through new experiences and might even assist you in discerning your future.  We welcome you to come and see.

There is no cost for this program and you make no commitment.  You will help the sisters by working alongside them as they go about their daily tasks.  There will be time for retreat conferences, prayer, reflection, an introduction to spiritual direction, and the opportunity to share with others attending the monastic living experience.
