Everyone who thirsts
come to the water.
The water that I will give
will become a spring of water
welling up to eternal life.

We are happy to offer hospitiality to those who wish to come to share the Monastic atmosphere of Mount Saint Mary's Abbey and environment. We provide two retreat houses for private retreats for individuals or groups.  Retreatants may attend any of the Abbey liturgy including the daily Eucharistic Celebration, and are welcome to pray quietly in our Abbey Church at any time between 3 am and 7:30 pm



 

Cistercian Life

The Cistercian way of life is cenobitic. Cistercian nuns seek God and follow Christ under a rule and an abbess in a stable community that is a school of mutual love. Since all the sisters are of one heart and one mind, they have everything in common. By bearing one another's burdens they fulfil Christ's law, participating in his sufferings in the hope of entering the kingdom of heaven.

Constitution 3.1
