Annual Community Retreat
Beginning
Sunday evening, June 7th, our community at St. Benedict
Monastery will start its annual retreat. This
five-day period of prayer affords the monks an
opportunity to step away from their ordinary routine,
taking time to focus more attentively on prayer and
become refreshed through the Lord’s abiding presence in
their lives.
This year we are very pleased to welcome Fr. Antony Chacko Puthenpurackal (the former Abbot General of our congregation) who will be directing the retreat this year. Father currently assists at Holy Face Monastery in Clifton New Jersey. We are looking forward to spending the coming week prayerfully listening to the Lord’s voice under his guidance and encouragement.
Because of the retreat schedule, this week from Monday to Friday, our Masses will not be open to the public. The regular schedule will resume on Saturday, June 13th.
