Retreats

Discerning a vocation to monastic life? Come and meet our community.

Monasteries occasionally offer retreats that address the needs of those discerning a vocation to be a Trappist monk or nun. Here is a unique opportunity for you to meet monks and nuns in the place where they pray, work, and live in community every day!

Our Monasteries

The journey to joining a Trappist community begins by connecting with the vocation director at one of our monasteries. We invite you to browse our monasteries to get a sense for the beautiful places we Trappists live in and find the contact information for each of our vocation directors. You may also write to us if you have immediate questions or view our retreat calendar.
