Spring Break Monastic Experience - Clyde, Missouri

Begins Saturday, March 8th
Ends Wednesday March 12th

Looking for something else to do besides go to Ft. Lauderdale or South Padre Island for Spring Break?

We invite you to come to the middle of nowhere! Leave your hectic school schedule behind and enter into monastic time where the day flows around chanting Psalms, Eucharist, simple work, talking about what matters, appreciating nature, good food and fun... It’s your chance to ask a nun all those questions you’ve always wanted to ask a nun…

Take time...

- to slow down from your hectic pace and experience the balance of Benedictine life.
- to listen, to pray, to become more aware of God’s presence.
- to experience life in a contemplative monastery.
- to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ and your prayer life.
- to learn about Benedictine prayer and monastic tradition.
- to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of nature
