If you sense that the Holy Spirit is leading you to explore monastic life or a religious vocation, we invite you to come to a Monastic Experience Retreat at Conception Abbey. We invite men who are joyful, generous with their talents, desire to live in community, and most importantly, men who desire holiness to explore our monastery more closely.

The words of saints and sages for meditation and reflection. 8220;Have we not always found in our past experience that on the whole our kind interpretations were truer than our harsh ones?

There is a certain method of practising the presence of God, by which, if the soul chooses, she may remain always in prayer, and constantly enkindled and inflamed with the love of God. This consists in realizing, in the midst of our occupations, that we are doing the will of God in each, and in rejoicing and being glad that it is so. Text from A Year With the Saints.
