what you can do with us

Abbey








"Let us go off by ourselves to some places where we will be alone and you can rest for a while"
So they started out in a boat by themselves for a lonely place. (Mk.6,31-32).



   GUESTS' RECEPTION
   ALL the guests arriving are greeted like Christ.
   The guests… should be accompanied to the prayer (RB 53,1.8).
   1. The monastic Community greets with evangelical spirit the brothers wishing to spend few days- (usually one week)- in meditation and in reflection, in communion of prayer with the monks.
   2. We augur that their stay give them new vigor to be more welcome by God and to return to their duties that attend them in their life in a more Christian way.
   3. The hospitality that the Abbey offers is not just a vacation or only a physical rest, being the monastery "the house of God" and "the school of the service of the Lord." (RB 31,19; Prol. 45).
   4. Currently a specific guesthouse does not exist in the monastery, but the guests are lodged in few available rooms (with private facilities) between the rooms used by the monastic Community.
   5. The guests are fraternally invited to participate to the liturgical prayer of the community, to practice silence that helps listening to God and to seek meeting with Christ in the Word and in the Sacraments.
   6. The rooms are on the first and second floor.
   7. No elevator is available.
   NOTICE; It is suggested to book well in advance, preferably in writing and not by telephone.
